De Weerd: Item 5 is the Consent Agenda.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve the Consent Agenda with the reVIsion of moving Item C to
7 -C on the regular agenda and includes passing Resolutions 05-482, 05-483, 05-484,
05-485, and 05-486, and for the Mayor to sign and the clerk to attest on all proper
papers.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve the Consent Agenda. I would like to make
special notation on Item 5-L, which is the ResolutIon 05-482. This resolution was
brought to you by the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council in support of the Blueprint for
Good Growth. Primarily, they wrote this resolution and they felt very strongly about the
efforts by the Blueprint and the need for original cooperation and so I just wanted to
make special notation of that. They took a bold step out of a comfort zone to endorse
this effort to you all. Mr. Berg, will you, please, call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Item 6:
Department Reports:
A. Finance Department - Stacy Kilchenmann
1. FY05 Budaet Amendment:
De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Item No. 6-A is our Finance Department report. Stacy.
Kilchenmann: In front of you I gave you a handout that has the FY05 budget
amendment, which is what we are here to talk about tonight. I'm not going to go
through the entire detail of it, I'm going to try to make it understandable, which it's kInd
of complicated. But the first -- we divided it up for ease of understanding by fund,
separating the Park Impact Fund and the Capital Improvement Fund out of the General
Fund, even though they are part of it, and so in the General Fund -- I will just start WIth
the bottom line, which is that we actually increased the budget by four hundred -- we
actually increased it by 800 -- by another 489,936 dollars. If you take out the fire station
expenditure and revenue -- and all that is is that we had budgeted revenue for the fire
station and expenditure for the fIre station and it didn't happen, so we took it out, and we
won't rebudget It, because the rural fire is going to pay the contractors directly. The
other items that we actually increased the budget for, which are listed in the real small
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 5 of 58
tiny red print, we had the ability to increase our revenue to cover that, so the net effect,
bottom line, to the General Fund is revenues, balanced expenditures. So, we didn't go
into the fund balance. And we didn't -- when we do this, we don't increase the revenues
to the total amount that we will get, we just increase them to cover the expenditures.
So, I guess are there any questions on the General Fund side? Do you want me to go
through the detalls of the changes we made?
De Weerd: No, I don't think that will be necessary, Stacy.
Kilchenmann: Okay. The next fund is the Park Impact Fund and the bottom line for the
Park Impact Fund is that we did go into the fund balance by 202,429 dollars. In other
words, the amount that we were able to increase our revenues to increase -- to cover
those increased expenditures, weren't enough, so we still had to go into the fund
balance. And they are listed below, decisions that you have made throughout the year
for projects that we wanted to get completed. So, then, any questions about the Park
Impact Fund?
De Weerd: Any questions, Council?
Bird: I have none.
Kilchenmann: Then, the next one is the Special Services Fund, which is the building
department, economic development, and planning and zoning and one item that we did
that -- I don't -- I don't think you have talked about is economic development got 31,000
dollars in donations. So, we Increased our revenue by that, because we hadn't
budgeted for it. I think that's going to be used for advertising, so we increased the
expenditures correspondingly. The rest of it is all increases for the increase in building
permit sales and the court -- well, the cost don't -- are less than revenues, so we just
increased the revenue to cover the cost. So, in the Special Services Fund there is no
net increase or decrease to the fund balance -- or there is no net decrease. So, any
questions on that one?
De Weerd: No.
Kilchenmann: Capital Improvement Fund there was no change. The Enterprise Fund,
the big impact to the Enterprise Fund is that we decided to pay the latecomers
expenditures -- we decided to pay the latecomers off, but our assessment revenue, we
were able to increase that so much that there was no impact and, additionally, we could
-- if you remember last year, we budgeted the used fund balance for some of the
Enterprise Fund projects. We were able to decrease the amount that we were getting
into the fund balance by 3.99 million dollars. The other big -- well, a bigger one or one
that we had as we increased the water meter expense, because we decided to use a
different kind of -- because of the growth and the need for the meter, again, that
revenue balances out with expenditures. In the capital outlay portion, there is just a lot
of transfers between projects. We also transferred -- water had excess carried forward
that they didn't need. Wastewater didn't have enough, so we made a transfer within
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 6 of 58
that fund from water to wastewater. The bottom line is we did -- there was 450,000
dollars in the capital outlay that wasn't covered -- that we couldn't cover by making
transfers and that was because of the decision to extend the North Black Cat Trunk.
So, the bottom lIne for the entire city is that we went from a 60 million -- a 60.7 million
dollar budget to 68.2 million dollar budget. That very bottom tiny number at the bottom
of the page. So, are there any questions about the Enterprise Fund?
De Weerd: Stacy, thIs format is much easier to follow. Appreciate that.
Kilchenmann: Hopefully some day we'll figure out -- we will just put it on more pages,
so the print IS bigger.
Bird: Just keep it like this.
Kilchenmann: It will just be tinier and tinier.
Bird: No. No. Don't keep it tinier, just keep it this simple.
Kilchenmann: Okay. We try. We worked on it all day to make it simple.
Bird: I'm a simple person, so --
De Weerd: Any questIons for Stacy?
Donnell: Good job.
De Weerd: Thank you. Stacy, I'm assuming we will need a motion from Council to
amend the budget.
Kilchenmann: Yes. Right, WIll?
De Weerd: Mr. Berg.
Bird: I don't think so.
Berg: Madam Mayor, I don't know if you approve this, because we will have to have a
Public Hearing and, then, we will adopt an ordinance amending the budget, but you
could approve this recommendation tentatively to go into the Public Hearing. It's not
quite like we approve a tentative budget.
De Weerd: To put it up for public notice?
Berg: Correct. But I do have to notice the amendments to the budget for the Public
Hearing.
De Weerd: So, you will just use this document to public notice the --
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 7 of 58
Berg: Sure. And I would say a consensus of the Council to approve these
amendments to go into -- for the Public Hearing would be appropriate.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I'd move that we send this amended '05 -- fiscal '05 budget forward to be publicly
heard on August 30th Public Hearing.
Donnell: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion is to approve -- and Mr. Berg.
Berg: I'm sorry, Madam Mayor, but the day would have to be somewhere in September
6th or 13th. There is not enough days to notice It properly, so it will not be --
Bird: I'll change that from August 30th to September 6th.
Donnell: Second concurs.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to -- so, September 6th is the date and that's plenty of time,
Will?
Berg: Yes, Madam Mayor. I have two weeks to notice it. Yes.
De Weerd: Okay. All those in favor say aye. Okay. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
B. Planning and Zoning Department - Anna Canning
1. Request for Waiver of Fence Waiver Aoolication Fees for
Rvan Warwick:
De Weerd: Item 6-B is our Planning and Zoning Director, which we have taken out the
zoning part. It's our planning department.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the request before you is to waive a
fence -- waive the application fee. And that fee is 50 dollars. The issue -- well, I don't
want to get into the issue, because it -- you might see it again. But It's -- the fence is
located on Wingate Lane. Through other public testimony it was brought to our
attention that perhaps this fence didn't meet the setback requirements. Code
enforcement went out, checked it, it's 18 and a half feet from the right of way, instead of
20 feet The property owners that are there purchased the house with the fence. They
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 8 of 58
have agreed to submitting the application, but they are asking for a waiver of the 50
dollar fee and the zoning ordinance gives -- only gives Council the authority to waive
fees, so --
De Weerd: Okay. And, Anna, do you have a recommendation?
CannIng: Given that they obtained a building permit for this and the building permit was
-- or the fence did pass inspection, yes, I would recommend waiving the fee.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Anna, as I understand, our department went out there and inspected this fence
after it was constructed; right?
Canning: Yes, sir. And we did check with the building department. Apparently the
building department checks the structural integrity of the fence, not as to whether it
meets the setbacks. That may be something we need to discuss with them, I think.
Bird: Isn't that part of -- isn't that part of your application is the setbacks and
everything?
Canning: You know, I have never actually seen a fence application for the city, but it
should include setbacks, because that's definitely part of the code, is that they have to
be 20 feet back.
Bird: I was one of the fortunate ones that got to sit on the fence committee for about
three years and it is part of It.
De Weerd: Well, Council, any further discussion should be held -- if there is an appeal,
you will be hearIng this, so--
Bird: Okay. Madam Mayor, I will make a motion that we waive the 50 dollar fee for Mr.
Warwick on 2642 North Lapis Avenue in Packard Acres SubdIVIsion NO.2.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve the waiver of the fee. All those in favor say
aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
C. Parks and Recreation Department - Doug Strong
Meridian City Council
August 16. 2005
Page 9 of 58
1. Update on Messina Meadows Parks and Recreation
Decision:
De Weerd: Okay. Item 6-C. Mr. Strong.
Strong: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. At our August 10th Parks
and Recreation CommissIon meeting we had the developer's representative for the
Messina Meadows Subdivision and the neighborhood park that's being proposed in that
subdivision come before the commission and discuss the proposed park in that
subdivision and answer questions and concerns that the commission had. Following
some lengthy discussion and being able to answer theIr concerns regarding drainage
issues and quality of land issues with the proposed park, the commission voted to
recommend that the city accept the neighborhood park as a city park. So, that's what
I'm brInging forward to you tonight is their recommendation. With this -- I may add, that
the developer -- developer's proposal is to donate the land and the green up of the park.
De Weerd: Okay.
Strong: And that would have to be identified in the agreement later developed by our
attorney's office.
De Weerd: Mr. Baird, I guess Council discussed this last week and still decided to
maintain the same course.
Baird: Correct. Madam Mayor and Members of the Council, you did have a request for
reconsideration from the parks commission, who discussed the matter the day after you
heard this as a Council. It was your decision as a group to not act on that request for
reconsideration and to approve the findings as written, which did not include accepting
the park as a city park. All that you have before you, really, is a report from the park's
board that they have received more information and that their minds were changed that
they believe now with the additional information, that this site does fit the current
Comprehensive Plan for neighborhood parks. So, if you do nothing, your decision will
stand. If you want to have staff fulfill the recommendation, if you want to adopt the
recommendation of the park's board, all that we would be looking for is a motion for staff
to bring forward property amendments such that at the time the final plat is signed, that
we would have agreement in place that would brIng this -- the park into the cIty, deeded
to the city as a city park.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Council, any discussion?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 10 of 58
Donnell: Mr. Strong, when the developers met with the parks commission, did they
speak to the placement of the park in that development?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Councilwoman Donnell, they did and the location of the park in
the development fits the Comprehensive Plan that recommends a neighborhood park
be in the center of the neighborhood and they pointed -- they made reference to the
Comprehensive Plan guidelines that were followed for the placement of the park.
Donnell: Thank you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Doug, how dId the quality -- the drainage and quality of land change? DId they
stay on the same eight-acre area or not? I didn't -- I was not here when this was
passed, so how did that change in a month?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, actually, the park remains where it was
initially proposed. The drainage system that they are using out in that area -- and I don't
-- I don't recall what they call it, but it's the -- alongside the road there is --
Bird: Swale.
Strong: -- the swales that apparently are part of the design to take the drainage away
from the area and the land quality issues were addressed satisfactorily with the
commission, so--
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Mr. Strong, I'm trying to recall the discussion at the Council level, but I don't
believe we ever discussed specifically the quality of the piece of property. We focused
mainly on location, amenity, and those sorts of things. And so were there any of those
types of discussions at the parks commission level?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Councilman Wardle, there were -- and, actually, the July Parks
and Recreation Commission meeting when we went into executive session, there was
some concern expressed about the quality of the land, which I thought came from
Council discussion, but I don't know whether Councilwoman Donnell can recall that
discussion or not, but it came up in -- in that executive session dIscussion and --
Donnell: It did.
Strong: -- I don't know that the detail --
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 11 of 58
De Weerd: I think probably the whole site was of concern, because of the hIgh water
table. There -- I believe in the letter from the Parks and Recreation Commission, they
all cited concerns of the housing on the west side. They also suggested that there was
some land that seemed more appropriate to a setback or buffer that was beIng used as
park land credit. So, I think they had indicated a number of issues that they had
concerns with, so they feel comfortable that all of those Issues have been addressed
without any redesign.
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, they did talk about redeSIgn and there
was a lot of discussion around moving the park elsewhere and so forth. But the
developer's representative I think addressed those questIons to resolve their concerns
and also expressed that at this point in the process that a redesign of where the park
would go In the development would not be a practical way for them to go, just because
of the cost that they have already put into the development of the property, so --
BIrd: Madam Mayor, can I ask another question?
De Weerd: Uh-huh. Mr. Bird.
Bird: Doug, what -- now, on this park, we are going to -- we are proposing to take it
over -- or the parks commission is. Who is going to -- are we just going to green it or
are we going to have a tot lot in there -- what are we going to have in there and who is
responsible for doing that?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Councilman Bird, what's being proposed is that -- again, that
the land would be donated to the city and the green up, which means irrigation system,
grass, curb, gutter, sidewalk, I believe, and, then, all the hard-scape, restrooms, shelter,
playground, basketball court or tennis court, whatever other hard-scape features would
go in the park, would be at the city's expense. However, the developer would be
interested in building them and some agreement with park impact fee payout, however
that could be arranged.
Bird: Are they getting impact fee credits for that eight acres?
Strong: No.
Bird: They are just donating the land and, then, they will be glad to work with us and
build for us at their cost.
Donnell: Yeah.
Strong: Yes.
De Weerd: Donating the land, greening it up, is -- did they address parking? Because
parking was also an issue.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 12 of 58
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we didn't -- we didn't talk specifically
about parking and design, that's a design consideration that I thInk we can certainly
address as we finalize a park design for where things are placed and whether -- I think
their initial proposal was that on-street parking would be the way to go there, because of
the length of street frontage they have, but I think there is concerns about that, I believe,
and possible zoning compliance issues with that. So, it would be a matter of a parking
lot inside the park, like we have with our other neighborhood parks. The reason they
were proposing on-street parking, I think, was to leave more green space in the park,
thinking that there would be adequate parking spaces along the street to, essentially,
keep more available to the neighborhood as far as just green space. But that's a design
issue that I think we'd need to address as we build the park.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Mr. Strong, there was also a
question about whether it would be parallel parking, which we would normally see on
that kInd of street, or pull in 90 degree parking or angled parking and that's where the
zoning concerns came in, if it was going to be something other than a parallel parking,
that's when we were concerned. But we hadn't heard about it or addressed it yet.
Strong: That's correct. There is space inside the park, certainly, to develop a parking
lot, lIke we do with all our other neighborhood parks. I think what was being proposed
by the developer that we may have the opportunity with this particular site to leave more
green space in the park, if we could find other alternative parking on the street.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: So, just a point of clarification If the city accepts this as a neighborhood park,
then, we really are the ones that design what the park looks like, what It does, how
parking is handled -- that's the city's decision and not the developer's?
Strong: That's correct.
Donnell: So, WIth that, if the city were to decide that they wanted to include parking in
what is proposed as green space, rather than street parking, would the development still
meet the green space percentage requIrement?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Member of the Council, Council member Donnell, I don't have
the numbers in front of me, but I'm guessing that it still would. I'm pretty sure It was
over ten percent, so --
Donnell: It was. Thank you.
Strong: I believe it's eight and a half acres that they are proposing. That's a pretty good
size neighborhood park.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 13 of 58
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. BIrd.
BIrd: One other question, Doug. An eight and a half acre park in the middle of a large
subdIvision, who does that really benefit?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, and Councilman Bird, actually, In our
Comprehensive Plan descriptIon of the neighborhood park, it -- the neighborhood park
is recommended to go in the center of the neighborhood to seNe primarily the
neighborhood in a -- in I think a mild radius of that neighborhood. So, it's not intended
to seNe certainly a regional need or anything, but primarily the neighborhood, and that's
going to be a fairly substantial size neighborhood.
Bird: And that's what I'm getting at is the fact that we've got some little neighborhood
parks around here and it isn't financially feasible for us to run around and take care of.
The homeowners have done it. In our night out in August -- the first of August, we got
to see a couple of real nice little neighborhood parks that not only act as a nicer
greened up neighborhood park, but also as a drainage field, and it's -- they are ran by
the homeowners association and unless something was to change or -- you know, if it
was a 30 or 40 acre park that the whole community would be Involved in, like a Bear
Creek or Tully or something like that, I could understand it, but just an eight and a half
acre park inside, I think, we would be better off to leave it to the homeowners and the
developer and let them do it, let them take care of it.
De Weerd: As it is that is --
Bird: That's the way I understand it.
De Weerd: -- where we are at. Anna, I guess you're somewhat disadvantaged,
because you don't have this in front of you, but did they not have any amenities planned
for that park?
Canning: No. They had another private recreation area just across the street that had
the homeowners association pool and, then, they had a number of walking trails and
other open space. I'm sure that just the quantity of open space was okay and, then,
they had amenities elsewhere. I remember specifically where the pool site was. I don't
remember if they had another tot lot or anything like that. I don't thInk they did. I
remember they were going to improve the canal along the north of the property, so that
it was open and a nice running kind of creek type thing.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 14 of 58
Donnell: [certaInly concur with Councilman Bird in terms of who it really serves, but --
so I have wrestled with this over time -- little short time that I have been on the Council
and as I thought about these parks that become, essentially, neighborhood parks, I
have had the concern that, again, the homeowners around that park think that it belongs
to them and not to anyone else. But, on the other hand, these parks serve a purpose to
provide that kind of space, instead of those folks going to another park that is perhaps
more regional in nature. Am I making much sense? So, we are takIng, you know, a
group of people from -- that might otherwise take advantage of a regional park and
providing closer area for them to take advantage of. So, I have kind of come around in
my thinking about these parks. But I do want to ask Mr. Strong one more question and
that is I know that Elroy attends the commission meeting and I was unable to attend this
last time, so, you know, I didn't listen to the discussion, but does he feel. as park
superIntendent, that that one more small park is able for the city to manage and
maintain and include in their acres of park?
Strong: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilwoman Donnell, he sees no
problem with maintaining this park and, actually, I think maybe a way to draw a parallel
that -- kind of what you're describing is that I live in between Chateau Park and Tully
Park and those two parks serve dramatically different purposes for that area of town.
Chateau Park, if you want a quiet place to go and picnic IS much more desirable than
going to Tully Park, particularly when there is a lot of skateboarders and baseball
games and people playing basketball and volleyball and all the things that -- it's a much
more active park. So, the intent of the different parks, neighborhood, regional parks,
community parks, is to serve different purposes certainly. And that's how this one was
addressed in the planning phase was to serve a neighborhood and it fits the criteria in
our Comprehensive Plan to do that, so --
Donnell: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Council, I don't know if It will be beneficial, but, you know, this park is part of
the plan and it's going to be built one way or the other. I guess what we gain as a public
park should also -- you should have information on what the cost is to our taxpayers to
maIntain the park and weigh the benefits and the cost. If you would desire that, we
certainly can come back or certaInly -- I don't need to give you permission to make a
decision, but if you want more information, certainly we can get that for you as well.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I feel-- actually feel very sorry for the developer at this stage of the game. We
have had a number of decisions. This Council enjoyed the overall scope and feel of the
subdivision, approved it based on what we saw. Left the decision up to the commission,
came forward with a recommendation, that the city not take the park and, then, went
back. And so I'm a little concerned with that and would like Director Strong to look at
our process for future subdivisions that would be planning these sorts of things. I think
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 15 of 58
that if we had had foresight on this, we wouldn't be here today certainly. I haven't seen
anything today that would -- that IS different than our discussion last week and one of
the other Council members who had a stronger opinion, I feel, of where that park was
situated and so If you'd like to provide further information to the Council when we have a
full compliment Council to discuss that, it would be my preference to not take action this
evening on the recommendation from the commIssion.
De Weerd: Okay. Do we need to bring the development agreement back just for that
piece of consideration? Is that appropriate, Mr. BaIrd?
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, again, if this Council takes no action,
everything's in place for the development to go forward and the property in question will
be a private park for the subdivision. So, if you want to put off your decision, request
more informatIon, if you want to hear from the developer, get the same presentation that
the park board commission got, you can certainly do that. So, the realm of things for
you to direct that you want to see is before you, but all we'd need to change direction is
a motion from the Council.
De Weerd: Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Certainly, again -- and not to belabor the point, but I feel that especially since
we are looking at a donation by an individual and that it would -- if we could find it
appropriate In some part of our process, Mr. Baird, to bring forward again for additional
information which we didn't hear in our past hearing and which we haven't been privy to
via the parks commission, all we have in front of us IS two sentences as far as the parks
commission. I'd like to hear a little bit more about why they changed their mind and how
they feel it will benefit the community.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I will ask that staff bring back on the agenda the development
agreement, ask the -- invite the developer to, please, join us to give the same response
that he gave to our parks commission to the Council and, as well, if he can bring a fiscal
analysis of this park property and what the cost will be, that would be good, too.
Strong: Okay.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you.
Strong: Thank you.

on items one and three. There are two Exhibit C's attached. One follows Exhibit D. I'm
not sure that -- it appears to be an old copy of Exhibit C. So, the first Exhibit C would be
correct. And, then, regarding the incorrect name. Of course, they are right, they are
Cherry Lane Christian Church and not Presbyterian of Boise.
De Weerd: Okay. And, Len, do you have a comment on item two?
Grady: Madam Mayor, we have been in negotiations with the church for -- off and on
for several months to try to get easements put through there and it's always been our
intention that the city go ahead and construct the sewer line through their property, so
that we can meet ACHD's deadlInes for paving Ten Mile and Franklin, so --
De Weerd: Okay.
Grady: That hasn't changed, to my knowledge.
De Weerd: But that can be clarified as well.
Grady: Yeah.
De Weerd: So, as the changes are not major, Mr. Baird, can Council go ahead and
move on this with the changes?
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, that's correct. These are merely
clarifications, so you can make a motion to adopt that item with the clarifications that
you have discussed on the record this evening.
De Weerd: Okay. Okay. Council?
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move that we adopt Item 7C, with the recommended changes that we have
discussed on the record this evening.

De Weerd: Okay. Item NO.8 is a request for reconsideration. Mr. Baird or Anna, who
is opening on this?
Canning: Madam Mayor, I do not have a presentation prepared. Generally, the
applicant does those, if Council wants to hear from them.
Baird: And Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, if I could just add a little bit of
procedural groundwork here. You do have a letter from the applicant's representative
requesting reconsideration. According to the Robert's rules, the reconsideration can be
granted only if the motIon is made by one of the individuals who was the moving party
and last week the motIon was to deny and it's my understanding that Councilmember
Bird and Councilmember Rountree were the two individuals who voted in the affirmative
on the motion to deny. So, those are the two individuals who could, in fact, request to
grant this reconsideration. If there is no motion, then, we go forward to Items 9, 10 and
11 for you to act on tonight.

front of you. Mr. Bird, I guess if you would entertain that or if you would like the --
Bird: I'll listen to the developer, if It's okay with you, Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Would the representative like to come forward?
McKinnon: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Dave McKInnon, 735
South Crosstlmber. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk tonight. I wasn't
sure we would have that opportunity. Last time I tried to be brief and I don't thInk we
had an opportunity to discuss all the issues that were relevant In the project that was
brought before you. I know there is some concerns -- concerns that were voiced by
members of the Council and we have gotten together and we have looked over those
concerns, we have talked about the Comprehensive Plan and what it means to the City
of Meridian and how this pIece of property relates to the Comprehensive Plan and
possibilities for redevelopment of that piece of property in a manner other than high
densIty. We talked about the density of this project and we agreed that we could come
down in density and we decIded that we could remove three -- seven, actually, units
from this project, which would drop the density from 12.5 11.5 units to the acre. We
know that there has been a number of projects in Meridian that Meridian has not been
happy with that are of four-plex project variety. I could name a few for you. The project
behind B&D Supply. I believe there is probably not a positive response to what's
happened in front of Mountain View High and possibly the project that's happening at
Ten Mile and Pine. In designing this project, we looked at those and we decided those
were not something that we wanted to emulate In the city. Those were not projects that
we wanted to reproduce in the City of Meridian after there has already been a number
of projects like that. So, we decided to take the aspects that they didn't have and
incorporate those Into our project by incorporating more open space, actually providing
an amenity package that would include a club house, a theater, 3,200 square foot, a
large park area that's centrally located, pathways, a larger percentage of open space
within the project and to try to provide a mix of uses as well with the office uses that are
next to the medium to higher density project. We also realize that the elevations that
have been presented to you have not necessarily always been built. The elevations
that we presented as part of our ConditIonal Use Permit included a large percentage of
the area which windows were faCIng, so they don't have a barracks appearance. There
is a large percentage of glazing on both the front, rear, and side facing elevations. I
have copies of those tonight. If you wanted me to present those to you I could show
those to you again. We could put them on the overhead if it's available. We felt that
after touring those other areas, that this product would actually be a much nicer product
than the product that you have already seen. We have been working closely with the
church. You should have also received a letter from the church, the Cherry Lane
Christian Church, that was the project that you just recently discussed that wasn't the
Presbyterian church. We have been working with them closely and providing a shared
use of the utilities, the water and sewer services would be jointly coming through the
Silver Oaks project and, then, through Cherry Lane project and easements would be
granted for both projects through this, as Len pointed out earlier tonight. There was
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 19 of 58
some concerns, I believe, that were voiced, but not necessarily discussed a great deal
about the traffic. There was a traffic study that was prepared for this project and there
was also a traffic study that would take Into consideration the issues that were brought
up with the church and their large parking lot, where they believe they will have 2,000
people in attendance. Their volume of traffic is much greater than the volume of traffic
created by this project and we believe that -- we have worked with your staff, staff is in
support of this project and we have worked well with your staff on this project. And the
Planning and Zoning CommIssion, the only major issue was whether or not we should
have a public street that went east-west through this project and we agree that it should
be a public street and provide a cross-access or basically a stub street to the property to
the west, which is also high density in nature. In working with the church and with
ACHD, there has been some discussion and it's also included in the ACHD report for
the church that In the future this main access road would be shared between the two
projects, would be a location, possibly, for a future traffic signal and that would be in
benefit to both projects, but it's also one of those requirements that's based upon
meeting warrants and traffic warrants and one of the ways to meet that traffIC warrant is
to have a volume of traffic at different times of the day, not just on Wednesday nights
and Sunday, youth meetings and Sunday mornings, that you would have with the
church. So, this would be something that would be jointly beneficial to everybody
together. I know that Commissioner -- or Councilman Rountree is not here tonight and,
Keith, it is a burden on you to make a motion one way or the other. I know that nobody
else has that opportunity. We have trIed to do what we can for the city. The city has
come forward and said this is what we'd like to see here and we have tried to provide
the city with what they have asked for. We have tried to provide more open space and
provide something that's of benefit to the city. This Comprehensive Plan was put
together to provide this -- thIS is a higher density housing in a location that would be
benefIcial to the city. It will be located near an intersection that will be greatly improved
in the future at Franklin and Ten Mile and be directly -- just I guess directly north of the
Ten Mile interchange. With that I'd ask if you have any questions of me on this. Please
consider our request for reconsideration tonight.
Bird: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you.
McKinnon: Do you have any questions for me?
Bird: I have none.
McKinnon: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.

Bird: Seeings how I'm the only one that can bring forward a deal -- a motion to accept
this or deny this request for reconsideration, with Councilman Rountree not here, I
would definitely move that we reconsider the Silver Oaks Subdivision annexation,
rezoning request, and the preliminary plat and conditional use applications and that
would be Items 8, 9,10 and 11 on our agenda.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. So, this is just for a reconsideration.
Bird: Yes.
De Weerd: And to put it back on the agenda for public comment.
Bird: Madam Mayor, if I could?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: This in no way -- I just feel that with Councilman Rountree not here, that we
should come back for a reconsideration, because I don't know how Councilman
Rountree's ideal is and it no way means that -- that I personally am in approval of It
again, it's just a way of letting the developer come back and bring back new ideas and
stuff, because my biggest concern was the density.
De Weerd: Thank you. We have a motion to place it back on the agenda. Do we need
a date certain, Will?
Berg: Madam Mayor, I would just instruct me to put it as a public hearing as soon as we
get any corrected documents that we could do as part of the application process.
De Weerd: Okay.
Berg: It think the applicant understands that whatever is -- new sketches and new
arrangements or whatever, that we would want to get it out to the agencies and such, as
well as our departments and the public property owners.
De Weerd: I don't need a roll call on this, do I?
Berg: It's always good to have a roll call.
De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Berg.
Berg: Especially when we had a denial motIon before.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.

De Weerd: Okay. So, that went through our Items 8, 9, 10 and 11. So, Items 12
through 15. Anna, do we have any that are not in agreement by the developers?
Canning: No, Madam Mayor, I do not, but I need to clarify for the record on Champion
Park Subdivision, the letter from the applicant requests that we remove the condition for
a rezone and staff is in agreement with that condItion. It sounds like more than what it
is. I had put that in there after consulting with Mrs. McKay, but, then, she consulted her
client and the client didn't want to agree to that. So, we are fine taking it out.
De Weerd: Okay. That was Champion Park?
Bird: Yes.
Canning: Champion Park. Did I not say that?
De Weerd: I don't know. I thought I heard champagne. Maybe I'm somewhere else

De Weerd: Thank you. Okay. Items 16, 17 and 18 are public hearings on AZ 05-019,
PP 05-024, and CUP 05-031. I will open these public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council -- here we go. This project is Dorado
Subdivision. It's located at the northwest corner of Eagle and Overland Road. And the
applications that are before you tonight are annexatIon and zonIng, preliminary plat, and
conditional use approval for a planned development. The annexation and zoning IS of
10.9 acres from RUT to a C-G zone. And the preliminary plat approval is for 16
commercial lots. The planned development is to allow a mix of hotel, commercial, retail
and restaurant uses and some of those would have drive-thru facilities. There we go.
The approximate square footage of commercial or mixed uses that will go on here is
about 110,000 square feet. And as I said before, there would be 16 building pads. We
do have a letter from the applicant on this one clarIfying some details with regard to the
staff report and the conditions of approval and we are in agreement with those
clarifications, they just are stated in a different way. Part of the -- sorry. Okay. The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at their July 7th hearing.
There were two neighboring property owners that testified at the hearing and that was
Gale Sasser and Becky McKay for Engineering Solutions spoke for Don Hutt and they

August 16, 2005
Page 23 of 58
are both neighboring properties within the subdIvision immediately to the east. One
lives here in this corner and one lives immediately adjacent to the L portion of the
subject property. The key issues of discussion at the Planning and Zoning Commission
were the landscaping of the gateway corridors along Eagle and along Overland and the
fencing of the perimeter next to the residential area. These are currently residential
uses, although this is very much a transitional neighborhood in that residential area.
They also talked about the number and types of uses for the site, the flood plane
designation and construction. There IS some flood plane issues at the north end of the
property, although the applicant has done some engineered fill to bring up the level of
the site, as I understand it. There was also discussion about lighting and setbacks of
buildings and, then, a requirement of the development agreement for lots not subject to
conditional use approval. And I'll briefly describe that issue, that currently these are
residential uses, so, normally, we would see a much wider buffer between land uses
along this whole western and perimeter. Because the area is in such flux, most of it has
already been bought up by industrial developers or commerCIal developers, so that
there was a -- very much a question as to what an approprIate buffer was in that area.
What the planning commission has forwarded in their recommendation is that certain
properties be subject to conditional use approval, so that they can resolve that issue,
particularly with this last remaining residence here, at the time of CU approval as to
whether a wider buffer should be appropriate. One of the proposed uses on the site is a
hotel and we do have some elevations of that. You can see some of the building pads
here. This is the hotel. There are a couple of outstanding Issues before Council. The
applicant has recently -- recently had an opportunity to acquire some additional -- some
left over right of ways from ACHD. They have more on Eagle Road and Overland Road
than they currently need and were willing to vacate that. The applicant originally came
to us wanting to amend the preliminary plat to reflect those new boundaries and I'm very
concerned with that, because we don't have the consent of ACHD to change the plat at
this time. What I don't have a problem with, though, is if Council would like to -- if the
Council would like to base the setbacks off of the eventual boundary when the final plat
comes in, I think that we can -- can make those adjustments and do that at the final plat
stage, just understanding that the buffers would be measured not from the current
property line, but if the property line goes out 12 feet, then, we could measure the buffer
from the current -- or the future property line. So, that was the one remaIning issue.
There were some left over issues regarding amenities. The applicant has not proposed
any amenities as part of the PD and one of the concerns was that they would present
those to Council tonight for suitable -- amenities suitable to this project. With that I will
let the -- I'm just trying to read what Mr. Seal just handed me. It basically just talks still
about the right of way and ACHD, but I'll let Mr. Seal describe the project more to you.
Answer any questions you may have.
De Weerd: Council, any questions for staff at this time?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
De Weerd: Now, Anna, this is a gateway corridor, so they are meeting the -- and that IS
why it's 35 feet?
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 24 of 58
Canning: It is 35 feet. They did ask for alternative compliance along Eagle Road. They
have this rIght-In, right-out and they asked that the width of that right-in, right-out be
included within the 35 feet. So, you're not -- you're getting closer to I think 15 to 20 feet
here, because of the long right-in, right-out lane.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Seal. And since I just called you forward, I still need
your name and address.
Seal: And I'm going to give it to you. Jonathan Seal, W.H. Moore Company, 1940
Bonito, Meridian. What I'd like to do first is just give you a little bit of overview of the
project. Some of it may be a little bit redundant. I thInk Grandview Station -- we feel
very proud of. We think it's going to be one of the focal pOInts in Meridian. We think it's
going to be a real asset to the community. Winston purchased this land in the spring
and the response in this project has been extremely encouraging. We think It's going to
be one of the center points for both food, lodging, banking, and to a limited degree
residential -- or retaIl. I'm sorry. This right here is a reSIdent -- or it's a Marriott hotel. It
is a residence suites type of thing. It's the type where people stay over four, five, seven
days. It's an apartment-type complex. The firm that bId it recently completed the one at
the mall, so if you're familiar with that. They have constructed 47 of these facilities
throughout the United States, so they are well qualified to do we think a very well -- a
quality project. Marriott has approved this project, so it's well beyond just it could
happen, it will happen. We anticipate sometime in the spring on this project, if not
sooner. Also down in this corner SterlIng Bank has made a commitment to do a 5,000
square foot facility. If you're not familiar WIth Sterling Bank, they are fairly new within
the area, they have got about 1,700 employees. They have got 135 branches. And
they got over seven billion dollars in assets. We are looking at a 5,000 square foot
facility. They will have clock towers on it. It's going to be a very attractive project. As
you look at these facilities here, we are talking to quite a few restaurants. I think most of
them would be familiar, probably in many cases you might have even eaten at those. At
this point, because we haven't finalized the deal, I'd rather not share it at this point, but
suffice it to say it's more than just simple discussion, they are very serious, they have
made a commitment, it's just working out the details. We have also found over here we
have several restaurants that are interested in this area and, again, the same thing, we
are well down the road on those. As far as these buildings over here, we have nothing
specific for that or for this in this area rIght here. So, if I can, I'd just like to touch on -- a
little bit on the residential. And, Anna, if you could flip back to one that shows the lots.
No. There is one there that shows the various lots on Loder.
Canning: Oh. Okay.
Seal: There. This, again, is Grandview Station. These are also lots down here. Just to
give you a little bit of background, as they say, this is a residential area in transition, but
it is, yes, a residential area. I think even staff has acknowledged that. Winston Moore
has purchased this home. In fact, this closed about a month ago. He's made a very
attractIve offer to Mr. Bill. Juris, who owns this home right here. We believe that Bill is
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 25 of 58
going to accept that. We sat down face to face. Right now he's just contemplating
where he wants to go and what he wants to do. Mr. Sasser lives in this house and Mr.
Sasser is here tonight. I know he will be speaking. We have met with Mr. Sasser. He
was at the last hearing and Winston and I met with him a while ago. I think we have
addressed most of his concerns, but, obviously, he's still got a few and he certainly will
get up here. Mr. Hutt was also another one. His representative is here. Ie-mailed Mr.
Hurt and told him if he still had any concerns, that we were pleased to sit down and talk
with him. I did not hear anythIng back from him, so I don't know. Ron Van Auker owns
these three and at least I have heard -- and I can't tell you exactly, but I believe he might
have acquired this property right here. As you know, with the Comprehensive Plan, this
is mixed use regional, so it's only a short perIod of time before this will all be developed.
But, as I say, right now we recognize the fact it is residential. Winston is aware of that
and we would certainly acknowledge it. If I could flip back to the concept plan, please.
As I mentioned to you, I sent you another letter today and it's a little bit of a repeat of a
letter I sent back on July 26th, but in going through the staff report, it seemed like most
of the things that were approved there, but they seemed to be in various areas and I
guess maybe my own simple thinking, I like to see everything kind of on one page,
which is maybe a little bit reaching. So, what I wanted to do was set out what we
understand from P&Z and at least what we belIeve in talking to staff what has been
approved. And as mentioned to you, Anna said over in these particular lots it doesn't
show the specific lots, but, essentially, in this area that we have agreed to a specific CU
or Conditional Use Permit for these buildings. We also agree to -- and as we at least
understood that this would be a five foot landscaped area. When it got into this area,
we had -- and as I spelled out, there were three options. One we could put up a bond
for this area. Two, we could go ahead and landscape it. And, then, at the time that
these came in for CU's -- and I have qualified that, that's as long as this is residential. If
these are no longer residential, that condition is void. But as long as these are
residential, then, we would go with the alternative compliance for landscaping, which
would be the fencing, the additional trees, and other various landscaping in there.
Along here we asked for -- also for alternative compliance. I received from ACHD
approval for a right-in only off of Eagle Road. What we -- what we had asked for was
that the sidewalk right now kind of continues to this point. What I'm suggesting is at this
point the sidewalk would probably go into the berm, at least that's our vision, and what
we have asked for is that this right-in only, plus the sidewalk, would be considered part
of the 35 foot wide berm. But in consideration for that, we will enhance our landscaping
along here and as -- well, I'll get to that later. Also, with the hotel we asked for a height
variance from 40 to 60 feet. We asked for the right for drive-thrus throughout this thIng.
I know the new zoning ordinance will allow drive-thrus, but we felt we would just cover it
all. So, we -- I think those things are spelled out. The only other clarification is over
here. Right now there is a 20-foot wide strIp, which is part of Loder. It's part of what's
called the Overland Sub Homeowners Association. Our understanding IS that there is
20 feet there. They are asking for 25. We would simply have to add an additIonal five
feet of landscaping along there to satisfy that. Otherwise, throughout here we are going
to have 35 feet. Also 35 feet through here. We are looking at signage in different
areas, which I think will create a real interest for the whole project also. This, as I say,
is a right-in only. This is a right-in, right-out. And this one right here is a full access
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 26 of 58
point. They are fIxed by ACHD. At least this one, in particular, is. A couple other things
that I would Ilke to talk about is the amenIties. We did back on -- in fact, I will pass it
out. We did, back on July 28th -- well, I guess -- let me back up and give a little bit of
history. Back when we -- after P&Z, I did meet with Anna and Joe and Anna had
suggested an amenity over in this area that we would be, shall we say, kind of in
proximity to what we envisioned might be two restaurants or eating facilities. She was
looking for something I think It was of reasonable size that would accommodate a lot of
people. That's certaInly a very faIr request. However, after talking to a lot of the
restaurants, particularly these up here and some of these down here, what they
mentioned to us is we think It's more beneficial if we can have multiple seating areas
throughout the project. You put seating over there, this doesn't benefit us or certainly
benefit this. It's kind of like, well, that's not being fair, you're putting one here, but not in
other places. So, what we propose -- and I sent an e-mail with pictures on July 28th to
Joe Guenther. Until Friday I didn't know what the response was. We were proposing
three amenities -- two to three amenities and I have got copies of these and you may
have those, I don't know, but let me pass these out. What we are proposing is that
these be located -- that these be located maybe in two or three locations. You might
have one up here. You might have one down here. You might very well have one over
here. That specific design, it doesn't have to be exactly like that, that's actually over in
Silverstone. But we think it will -- Winston feels that it will accommodate more people.
So, what we would like to propose is that something similar to this -- and we are
certainly open to working with staff on a little bit more of a design if necessary, but that
we work with staff on maybe the locations and what have you. The one thing I'm a little
hesitant to do at this point is try to pinpoint those things. I go back, for example, EI
Dorado business campus, in EI Dorado the requirement was to do a pathway within the
project and the problem we found is if we put a pathway, all of a sudden we might have
a pathway where a building was going to be. So, what we agreed to do -- and we have
honored it -- is that we are putting the pathway in as the project is being developed and
it's working very well. The city doesn't have to worry about us not doing it, we are doing
that. And, yet, it allows us some flexibility In design. We think it's the same way with
the locations. I think if we can agree -- we can either agree to three of these, then, we
can put those in areas as It starts to develop and we find out where it's a more suitable
location for it. So, we would ask that the Council consider this as I guess our proposed
amenities on this project. A couple other items. We would ask that -- that on the
August 23rd hearing that the ordinance for this project be approved. I understand it has
been drafted. We would ask, one, that the development agreement be signed off on.
We have submitted that development agreement. We have been told at least by
Meridian that that development agreement, excluding the FIndings of Fact, is SUItable.
And we would ask that as of tomorrow we are able to submit for the final plat
application. It's very important for us to get started on thIS as quickly as possible. If we
could, we could be under construction tomorrow. These people are here and want to
go, they want to go quickly, and obviously, even though it's hard to believe right now,
winter will be here pretty soon. So, we want to start to get our infrastructure In, so we
are able to submit the final plat application tomorrow, so that we can get that reviewed
and allow ourselves to get started on the construction getting approved and getting
under construction. Finally, if you can go back to the concept plan. As Anna said, when
Meridian City Council

Page 27 of 58
we started looking at these -- the sIte design for some of these bulldings in here, we
started to realize that it wasn't quite big enough to site for it. You know, it's the old
analogy, if you kInd of squeeze a balloon and make it bigger on side, it is smaller on the
other. We realize that ACHD has about 18 feet of right of way along here and they have
approximately 19 feet, extending about 25 feet through here. When we talked to them,
they said, you know, we will never use that in our lifetIme -- lifetimes. So, they agreed in
principal to sell it. On August 24th the Commission will accept our application that's
been submitted. We, eventually, agreed to a purchase prIce on it and as far as our
observation is, it's as good as a done deal as you're going to get. We have submitted
application to the City of Meridian. On September the 1 st you will hear the vacation for
that at P&Z and, obviously, thereafter with City Council. As Anna said -- in fact, the
language I gave to her is the language she drafted up, asking that we allowed to submit
the final plat with thIS right of way in there, with the understanding that until that's
purchased you don't sign the plat and we understand that and we are prepared to do
that. We can work around that. So, anyways, we would ask for that consideration.
With that I am done with the presentation. Like to answer any questions you might
have.
De Weerd: Council, any questions for the applicant?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I got one more clarification. Jonathan, would you state that the -- off Eagle Road
is a right-In and not -- a right-in only?
Seal: Right-in only.
Bird: Because we had -- I think Anna said right-in and right-out.
Canning: Sorry.
Bird: If I want to make a motion, I don't want to get it screwed up.
Seal: Well, I tell you, sometimes I am pretty lucky, but that--
Bird: But you're reaching for that one.
Seal: No. It's a right-in only.
Bird: Okay. Thank you.
De Weerd: Any other questions for the appllcant?
Bird: I have none.
Meridian City Council

De Weerd: Well, Jonathan, I just can't help myself, but your amenity is not really
consistent with the type of work we normally see from Winston.
Seal: Yes.
De Weerd: And I guess I don't want to say I'm disappointed, but, yeah, I will.
Seal: Don't shoot the messenger.
De Weerd: I didn't say that one, but it is. I would like to see somethIng better. I think
that this is very viSIble and high profile entryway into our community and we would
certainly -- and it sounds like from the tenants that have been looking at this and maybe
have already committed to it, they see value of that, too. So, I guess I have an
expectation to see something more than this picnic shelter as an amenity.
Seal: If we weren't on record, I would say--
De Weerd: Well, Winston is walking up the stairs.
Seal: I would be glad to have him respond. I understand what you're saying and so --
and I -- let's say warned him.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, I'm sure you didn't really specifically say who would probably
bring it up, but we will certainly ask him.
Seal: Okay. I know he'll look forward to It.
De Weerd: Thank you, Jonathan.
Seal: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. This is a Public Hearing and I would invite publlc testimony. Right
now we do have Sheri Stiles signed up. Do you wish to provide -- we will just take them
all. If you will, please, state your name and address for the record.
Stiles: SherI Stlles, Engineering Solutions, 150 East Aiken, Suite B, in Eagle, Idaho.
I'm here tonight on behalf of the Sassers that own the property Immediately adjacent --
what happened? I'm not changing stuff here am I?
Canning: No.
De Weerd: No.
Stiles: Does this thing work? Okay. Blind myself. They live on this property right here.
They have spent a considerable amount of money remodeling that building and
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 29 of 58
improving the property. They are in the process of movIng back there and have every
intention of using that as a residence for who knows how long. Their master bedroom,
in fact, is facing towards Overland Road and they are very concerned about the lack of
bufferIng that is shown in thIs plan. I dId have a question about the proposal to make It
a Conditional Use Permit for those lots surrounding their property. TYPIcally, the
perimeter landscaping is done and bonded for as part of the final plat, so all that needs
to be taken care of prior to signature on the final plat. I have heard -- at least reading
the comments in the Planning and ZonIng minutes, Mr. Moore did go on record statIng
that he would do whatever the neIghbors wanted and I would hope that he would follow
through with that and provide the buffer that the Sassers have requested, in accordance
with the ordinance. I don't know If there was a development agreement requIred as part
of this annexation, but there could be a clause in there that said the 25 foot wide
landscape buffer is required unless the property changes from residential use and/or the
adjacent owner agrees in writing to something less than the 25 feet. I know that the
Council has in the past granted that type of variance on the width of those buffers, but,
tYPIcally, the neighbors have had no problem with it. They either plan to do something
else with their property, they don't really need that kind of buffer, they don't necessarily
intend to stay there. But their WIsh is to stay there as long as they can and enjoy their
property, even though they realize it is a very rapidly changing area. Another issue that
we were concerned about was -- since, apparently, some of the properties are being
either optioned or taken over by Mr. Moore, that the construction traffIC not be allowed
to use Loder Avenue. That is -- basically, it was not built to today's standards, it was not
meant to carry heavy equipment, and it was like some of the old arterials around here,
that basically was -- they slapped down some asphalt on some dirt and that was the
road. So, they are concerned about that and also their access. I also read in the
minutes that it was suggested that the existing trees on the Sasser's property act as the
buffer for the development to the development and the trees that are there, if they put
the fence that they are proposing there at the depth they would have to dig to put that
fence in, the trees that exist there will likely be killed, because the root zone probably
extends over that. Sorry.
De Weerd: Please summarize.
Stiles: Also, the ACHD vacation process takes at least two months and that's after we
get through here. So, I know there is -- really, to wait until the final plat for that, but
that's something that needs to be taken care of, because it is an issue and if ACHD
decides not to do that, then, it basically changes the whole project. That's alii have. I'd
ask that you give consideration to these existing residences and take care of them
during the construction process.
De Weerd: Thank you. Council, any questions?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Thank you.

Stlles: Thanks.
De Weerd: Okay. That is the only name I had signed up. Is there anyone who like to
provide testimony on this application? Yes, sir. Please come forward. If you will,
please, state your name and address.
Sasser: Yes. My name is Gale Sasser at 1546 Loder place.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Sasser: And, basically, she has pretty much covered my concerns. I guess the project
at this point in time is very ambiguous in terms of what really is going to happen there
next to our place on that south side. That's our really big concern. Even the east end
where they want the five-foot -- where the road comes in, that's understandable for flow.
We can probably live with that, the five foot, but having five foot right next to our house,
basically, and her garden area and that type of thing, it really isn't acceptable. The
plans are to do restaurants, hotels, and along WIth that usually goes bars, drinking, and
that type of thing. So, we have a pretty heavy exposure to that type of traffic and people
-- you know, unfortunately, people don't always do the right thing and sometimes a five
foot fence gives them a buffer to hide behind and throw stuff over and that type of thing.
So, that's basically, what we are asking for, at least at this point in time. Maybe a year
or when they -- or two down the road the subdivision is going to go away, but at least
now it's residential and we are going to be Jiving there. Our master bedroom is going to
be there and the buffer as per code would really be most helpful. And that's basically
our only concern.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Sasser. Any questions?
Sasser: Thank you.
De Weerd: Okay. Any other testimony? Mr. Moore.
Moore: Yes, ma'am. Do you need me?
De Weerd: Yes, please. We have a question about your amenities.
Moore: Kind of figured you might.
De Weerd: If you will, please, state your name and address for the record.
Moore: I think what --
De Weerd: Winston, if you can state your name and address for the record.
Moore: I'm sorry. Winston Moore. 11665 Thomas Drive, Boise. 83709.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 31 of 58
De Weerd: Thank you. It's like I told Mr. Seal, we are very used to the quality of work
that you do and when we got this picture, it just wasn't consistent with what I equate to
Winston Moore's projects.
Moore: May I respond to that?
De Weerd: Yes, please. I would love that.
Moore: The amenities -- I grant you that's not a work of art. But amenities really are
pretty subjective. You know, what one person likes, another one doesn't, and vice-
versa. And it's not clear in my mind with respect to -- certainly we are going to do
amenities there that satisfies staff and you all and whoever needs to be satisfied. I
mean that's a given. It's not clear in my mind, though, if amenities -- is this an
ordinance or is it just something that local government would like or -- and I've not seen
-- and I -- perhaps there are some. This is a retail development. I don't recall having
seen a shopping center or restaurant complex that has the amenities that we are talking
about. We see it in business parks, like we did at EI Dorado and across the street at
Silverstone. This is kind of a first for me, but I, by some respects, live a pretty sheltered
life. But, in any event, you have my commitment that through your staff, Anna Canning
and whoever else, that we will agree on amenities and there won't be any problem.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, any questions for Mr. Moore?
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Anna, do you need any clarity on this?
Canning: Yeah, I wlll. I will need a lot. This problem came up in the Lowe's site where
the amenIties weren't clarified and it's been a struggle. We need to know from you all
kind of what size you want to see or how many of them you want to see or what type
amenity, what you want to see there. The amenity that you see on the board was for a
multi-use pathway that goes through Silverstone and was appropriate for that, but we
need to have an idea that -- two amenities are reqUIred by ordinance for the planned
development. There has been a wide range of what Council has felt appropriate, given
the size of the project and the location of the project and kind of what they had to work
with. We will need clarification from you on what you will want to see there, because,
otherwise, we have nothing to respond with when they come forward with an amenity.
We have nothing to base it on, unless we get that directIon from Council.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Moore: May I say another word? We are going to have probably seven or eight
restaurants in this complex. It will be -- outside of the hotel and one bank, this will be,
essentially, restaurants, fine restaurants. Some of them are not -- this is their fIrst trip
into Idaho. I spoke with four of them about amenities as to what they would like to see
and, you know, we havetalked about something out in the center with a fountain and
Meridian City Council
August 16,2005
Page 32 of 58
benches all the way around and they said, frankly, that they would rather see three or
four of these scattered -- or something similar scattered, so that all of the restaurant
patrons can benefit by them, instead of having something right in the middle or just two
of them on one end or something. So, they think, you know, from the standpoint of the
users, the people who are going to Jive there, so to speak, they like the concept. And I
just mention that for information. We will dress it up and clean it up and doll it up untll
all of you are thrilled.
Bird: A nice glass top would look good there.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: I can understand Anna's concern about us being more specific about
amenities and, Mr. Moore, when I saw this it reminded me of the shelters that I see at
elementary schools, because I have seen a lot of those, and this doesn't seem to be In
keeping with a nice restaurant area and location. I rather like the fountain idea with
seating around it, but I think you do have to do what you need to do to meet the needs
of the folks that determine to be in that development. So, I don't know at this point how
we can really say we'd like them in block and not metal roofs and, you know, whatever it
is that we can say and so perhaps you could come back with something that dolls it up.
Moore: Well, I would imagine that subject to your approval, I would imagine that we
would work this out with Anna and her staff and come up with something that passes
her muster.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Thank you, Madam Mayor. Anna, just to kind of summarize what I have heard,
that, in concept, the project is agreed to, essentially three covered seating areas.
HaVIng seen some of the other projects done by Mr. Moore, certainly feel that
architecturally they can make this blend within the rest of the project. One of the things
that I would like to see as direction is if we do approve the three -- the three covered
seating areas, that there be some safe walking -- either sidewalk or at least safe
passage from the nearest outbuilding to the nearest seated area.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I have an idea that came to me.
Perhaps thIS will work. I guess the concern is if there are a lot of restaurants -- what I
always notice is missing from a lot of these restaurants is that if you're in the waiting
line, a lot of times you're stuck with no place to wait, especially on a Friday or Saturday
night. And maybe if the applicant could agree that when the CZC's came through for
restaurants in particular, that each of them would have an outdoor seating area with
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 33 of 58
either a tree canopy or some other sort of covered space to accommodate eight people
or something -- ten people, something like that.
De Weerd: We'll have you work with staff. Sorry, Anna. Any other questions for Mr.
Moore?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: Mr. Moore, I'm assuming that as you listened to the testimony by the
neighbors, that you're in agreement to making sure that their needs are being met, so
that --
Moore: Yes. I'm sorry I was late. I figured number 16, we would be here until midnight
or something. I'm glad we are not. But I just heard the testImony of this lady and Mr.
Sasser and at the PlannIng and Zoning Commission hearing -- and correct me if I'm
wrong -- I think that all parties, includIng Mr. Sasser, agreed, and the commissioners,
that at the south side of his property, which would be the north SIde of ours, that he was
more concerned about headlights, since his bedroom is on the south SIde, as I recall.
He's more concerned about headlights from cars coming into the parking area there.
And, in fact, it's in the minutes. The way I recall it and the way I read it is we all agreed
on a five foot buffer, provided there was a six foot fence and a six foot fence would
seem to me to do a lot better job of deflecting headlights than a -- if it's a 50 foot buffer,
that isn't going to help the headlights, so -- and I'm not -- I missed part of the testimony,
I apologize, but our history is in working WIth the residents, we get along with them, they
get along was us, they like the way we cooperate and I can't Imagine we are going to
have any problem there. I think the only really consideration is Mr. Sasser's place. We
did purchase the one at the north end, the Adams. And the fellow in the middle, Bill --
I'm not sure how to pronounce his name. We have met with twice and he seems
inclined to -- as soon as he can find a place up in Wyoming or somewhere, that he's
going to sell his to us. And so we have a lot of respect for Mr. Sasser and his WIfe.
He's a businessman, he's a good community person, and we certainly intend to work
with him. He was in to see us. We met WIth he and his wife here two weeks ago. We
talked about all of this and what -- part of what this lady was saying is a complete
surprise to me.
De Weerd: Okay.
Donnell: And Loder Avenue will not be used as a construction lane?
Moore: I'm sorry?
Donnell: Loder Avenue will not be used as a construction lane?
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 34 of 58
Moore: No. You know, I don't think you're going to see any construction going on in
there until the subdivision covenants are abolished or amended or somethIng. I mean it
is -- it's a residential neighborhood, we can't go in there, even though we own the
property, and violate the covenants. So, I think you're talking years, as opposed to
months, before anything happens in there.
Donnell: Thank you.
De Weerd: Thank you. Any other questions? Thank you.
Moore: Thank you.
De Weerd: Is there any other testimony on this application? Jonathan, do you want
final wrap up?
Seal: Jonathan Seal, W.H. Moore Company again. As Winston said, I'm not sure how
this thing with Loder Road ever came up. If Ms. Stiles had called us, we could have
straightened her out on that. We have absolutely no intention of using Loder Road. In
fact, we don't have any intention with Adams, other than renting it out at this point and
that's for the foreseeable future. In fact, Winston Moore offered to let them stay in the
house rent free for up to a year while they looked for another home, on top of offering
them a very fair price. With respect to the vacation, I have every intention of wrapping
up very quickly. I've heard a lot of times where these take a long time, but I've got it
done a lot quicker and I intend this to. I see no reason why that should have
interference on this. Our risk is with us, you don't sign the plat until the vacation is
done. It will be done. So, we are in the works right now and already talking to the
utilities, so we will do that. And I think as Mr. Moore said, we did meet with Mr. Sasser,
I visited with Mr. Sasser out there in the hallway also, so this is a Ilttle bit of a surprise.
At least our understanding is we thought we had everything pretty well worked out.
Again, you know, just as a very quick example, EI Dorado BUSIness Campus, the
homeowners of Thousand Springs had an issue a couple months ago on some lighting.
We went over and met with them, including Winston, at 8:00 o'clock one night in their
homes. Even though everything had been approved, we didn't have to, we could have
said, you know, this has been approved, we are done, you live with it. But we dId. We
have actually spent money to reduce some of the lighting, which is coming out of his
pocket and stuff. So, I think when he says to you I will be a good neighbor, I think you
know it's not hollow words and we will work with these people. We have done it and we
will continue to do it. We try to treat people fair, so -- that's it.
De Weerd: And, Jonathan, we know. We have had the neighbors and yourself in front
of us, so we know you have been a good neighbor, but they don't.
Seal: Sure.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 35 of 58
De Weerd: And this is for their peace of mind and to get it on public record. And so I
don't know if it was to have any intent of distrust, it was to make sure that we
understood their concerns.
Seal: And we appreciate their concern. I understand Mr. and Mrs. Sasser. If I was in
their situation would have that concern, too. It's easy for us to say, we are not in their
home and it is still a home. So, we can appreciate it and that's why we are trying to go
the extra mile -- we are willing to go the extra mile to accommodate them when we can.
So, we don't want to sound cavalier in this situation, so --
De Weerd: Appreciate that. Any questions? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Council, do
you need any further information? Okay. I would entertain a motion.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve -- or we close Public Hearing 16, 17, and 18. I'm sorry.
Donnell: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is close the Public Hearing on Items 16 through 18. All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we approve AZ 05-019. I believe we also had a couple Findings already.
And Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law with any differences from public
testimony or Anna's comment to be included.
Donnell: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to approve Item 16. Mr. Bird, just for a point of clarity, I know
you usually wrap everything into -- and all testimony and -- but I guess I do want clarity
on the 25 foot buffer surrounding the one residential lot and if you can also give clarity
on -- if you are instructing the applicant to work with staff on the amenities.
Bird: That would be within -- would be within the annexation? I thought that was in the
preliminary plat.
De Weerd: Well, I think sometimes we like to have a lot of that with the annexatIon in
the development agreement.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 36 of 58
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, that's correct. If we want to capture
those in the development agreement, it would be appropriate to include that in your
motion.
Bird: I would Include that as stated, that work wIth the staff on the amenities and make
the amenities within reason.
De Weerd: Does the second agree?
Donnell: Yes. With all other recommendations in terms of buffer and --
BIrd: That's right.
De Weerd: Yes, Anna.
Canning: I need a lIttle more clarification. So, the 25-foot buffer--
Bird: What does your Findings say right now?
Canning: It just says five feet right now. Okay. And, then, the -- okay. And, then, the
amenities and, then, just to clarify -- you have never talked about it, but including the
right of way at the fInal plat time, the additional right of way, I assume that's okay and
we will add that condition.
Bird: And I believe also that this is -- Mr. Seal stated that on that right-in -- and they
wanted -- which was right, they wanted to put -- to move the sidewalk over to the inside
of that right-in, instead of putting it out there on an island for somebody to get hit. And I
agreed with that, very much so.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Anna, a point clarification, whether it's in the annexation or zoning or any of the
other two, I believe the requirement was for -- on the -- the three lots on the south, to
have those as conditional use; is that correct?
Canning: It's, essentially, four lots.
Wardle: Four lots?
Canning: These four, I believe.
Wardle: And those will come back through as conditions?

Item 19:
Public Hearing: RZ 05~009 Request for a Rezone of 4.53 acres from I-L
to C-G zone for Porkv Park Subdivision by VJ Joint Venture - south of
Pine Street and east of North Eagle Road:
Item 20:
Public Hearing: PP 05~026 Request for Preliminary Plat approval of 15
commercial buildIng lots on 34.56 acres in proposed C-G zone for Porky
Park Subdivision by VJ Joint Venture - south of Pine Street and east of
North Eagle Road:
De Weerd: Thank you. Public hearIngs 19 and 20 are RZ 05--009 and PP 05-026. I
will open those public hearings with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, did you -- am I supposed to be talking? Did you open the
public hearings?
De Weerd: I certainly did. With your comments.
Canning: Okay. Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, thIS is Porky Park and it's
located on the south side of Pine Street, east of Eagle Road. It actually doesn't include
the property right up against Eagle. That boundary is a little off. This is a rezone and
preliminary plat -- oh, it does -- it does include it. I'm sorry. It was -- it was a preliminary
plat for 15 commercial lots on 34.56 acres in an existing I-L zone and, then, they are
requesting to rezone just a portion of it. So, they are not rezoning the entire property,
just the Eagle -- the western most lots. And the rezoned portion is only 4.53 acres and
that will be -- they are requesting a rezone to C-G. The Planning and Zoning
Commission heard this at their June -- or July 7th hearing. No one testified in
opposition to the project. The key issue of discussion was the continued street section
from Pine to Commerce Street. To our knowledge there is no outstanding issues before
Council. Let me explain how thIS works a little bit. You might have recalled seeing thIS
on a reduction of platting requirements, so they were able to diVIde off the property here
to get the Maverick station started and that has come -- excuse me. Jackson's. I'm
sorry. I'm not doing well on remembering things today, for some reason. I think it's
because I'm going on vacation tomorrow, I think maybe I should have gone yet today,
but I forgive me. This came through the reduction in platting requirements and we did
require that it come through as part of this preliminary plat, so that's why it's before you
today. There -- the other odd thing that's going on, which works okay, is they are
extending this street from the subdivision to the south, so that there is a connection to
Pine Street. The street is built. It's not dedicated yet, so it will be dedicated with the
plat. So, right now it doesn't show up as a street, but it will be a -- it is a street and it's
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 39 of 58
constructed to street standards. So, it has not been dedicated yet, but it is constructed
and it will be dedicated with this plat. Other than that, it's a fairly straightforward
subdivision and to our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before Council. I
remember it's a Jackson's.
De Weerd: There is probably a few other thIngs and I'm just -- I know that Mr. Miller is
waiting for me to comment about the Porky Park thing. It's almost as good as
Wrinkleneck Subdivision, so -- if you run out of ideas for names, certainly we can help
you on that. If you would like to, please, come forward.
Miller: My name is Brad Miller, representing VJ Joint Venture, 3084 East Lanark in
Meridian. My first question is I just want to know what Anna had to drink with her
dinner. We appreciate your attention on this matter. This is a subdivision that we are
doing over on Pine. All the improvements are pretty much done. Pine Street has
already been -- WIth the help of ACHD, we have already been able to put that in and it's
being readily used. We are proposing that we rezone just the front three or four lots. I
can't remember how many it is, to match the properties to the north where the car wash
and the Ram and those are, we figured it would make sense to have all those
commercial and the rest will stay industrial. It was annexed and zoned, I believe, back
in '94. So, it's been around for a long time. All the utilities are in place. Just a word or
two about that road. We have worked, with the Mayor's help and some of the Council
Members' help, we have worked long and hard with Micron, Albertson's, Coors, John
Jackson, and some of the other owners there on Commercial Court to get that road
done and with the help of ACHD as well we have been able to get that done. They are
constructing it right now and it will be completed sometime in the next 30 days, I
believe. And, then, we will -- I think with the second -- we area going to final plat this in
two phases. With the second phase that wlll be dedicated. We have the Jackson's on
the corner. We have sold that property to John Jackson. And, then, on the property
next to that there is the hotel that's anxious to get started on that. I had just four issues
that I just wanted to address in the staff report. I don't think there is any problems here
and we addressed them before at Planning and Zoning, but I just want to make sure
they were on the record. Number one is there is reference in the staff report to an
owners association. It's an industrial subdivision, it's a commercial subdivision. We are
probably going to own most of the buildings. As I say that, we are gOIng to sell off the
first two, but the rest we have no plans to sell the lots. So, we will -- the subdivision will
be controlled by CC&Rs. We prefer not to have an owner's associatIon. We don't have
any on our other subdivisions and -- we will have an architectural review committee.
So, we would prefer not to do an owners association. The second item is on the
landscape buffer. We are going to continue to farm this as long as we can. The
reasons for that, as you all know, the property taxes -- we lease it out to Vance Janicek
and he farms it for us right now. So, we will pull the first two lots out, but we will
continue to farm it for property tax reasons. And so we would prefer not to -- the staff
report requires that the landscape buffer be installed all at once. We would prefer to do
that as the lots are developed and it could be -- if you go on the other side of Lewis &
Clark Middle School -- I don't know how many lots we have, but we have a number of
lots and we have built ten buildings on there. We own all but three of those buildings
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 40 of 58
and we still have a number of available lots. So, it could be five, seven years before we
build this thing out. It could be ten years before we bulld the whole thing out. So, we
would prefer to have a little bit of flexibility on being able to do the landscape buffer at
the time each building is constructed. In regard to pressurized irrigation, we had not
proposed pressurized irrIgation. We are not necessarily opposed to it, but we have got
two irrigation districts in there, we have got Settlers and Nampa-Meridian, and I would
like the fleXIbility -- I'd like a little flexibillty -- I'd like you to give staff a little bit of flexibility
on that, if you could, to work with us, because that can be a real brain damaging issue
trying to be able to deal with one, let alone two irrigation districts. So, if you can just
give staff a little flexibility on that, I'd appreciate it. And, then, the last thing IS covering
the ditch. We plan to cover the Settlers Lateral and probably we prefer to do that on a
lot by lot basis, although when you get down to it, we are probably going to end up
doing the whole thing, but I'd just like staff to have a little bit of flexibility on that as well.
Those are my only comments. If there is any questions, I would be more than happen
to answer them.
De Weerd: My only comment was she probably drank the same thing you did when you
named this.
Miller: No. That was Mr. Van Auker.
De Weerd: Any questions from Council? Okay.
Miller: Thank you very much.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Canning: Madam Mayor, clarification on the rezone, since both Brad and I have
misspoken. This one is currently zoned C-G. They are requesting that these two
properties be rezoned from I-L to C-G.
De Weerd: Thank you for the clarification. This is a Public Hearing. Is there anyone
who would like to provide testimony on Items 19 and 20? Okay. Does the applicant
have any final remarks? Council?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close the public hearings on 18 and 19.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: How about 19 and 20?

Item 21 :
Public Hearing: CUP 05-032 Request for CondItional Use Permit
approval for the operation of a public charter school in a L-O zone for
Compass Public Charter School by Compass Public Charter School -
2511 West Cherry Lane:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 21 is a Public Hearing on CUP 05-032. I will open this
Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is the Compass Public Charter
School and it's located at 2511 West Cherry Lane and it's to be co-located with the
Cherry Lane Baptist Church.
De Weerd: How about the Cherry Lane Christian Church?
Canning: Cherry Christian Church. I knew I was going to --
Bird: What did you have with dinner.
De Weerd: She needs a vacation.
Canning: The application that's before you tonight is for a Conditional Use Permit and
you have heard this before, you acted on it as a temporary use permit in the same
facility. And the request is to allow a public charter school in the L-O zone. The school
is leasing approximately 17,000 square feet of a 30,000 square foot fa clIity. And it
would be a kindergarten through 7th grade school. The Planning and Zoning
Commission has recommended approval and they heard it on July 7th. The key issues
of the discussion were, basically, a sunset clause for the Conditional Use Permit, since
it is expected to be a temporary location. Another issue of discussion was the hours of
operation and recess times for the children. The Commission voted to allow the CUP
with the -- just goes with the night. That the permit runs with the applicant and will
expire when the charter school vacates the property. The only real issue -- outstanding
issue that came out of the conditional use process was that -- the same issue that was
discussed during the temporary use and that was the open space location -- and at that
hearing the key issue of discussion was the outdoor recess area, which doesn't seem to
be addressed yet. I give up. I'm glad there IS nobody here tonight. I'm sorry. I'm going
to end there.
De Weerd: Okay. Council, do you have any questions for staff? Do you dare?
Canning: No.

De Weerd: Okay. Would the applicant like to provide testimony. If you will, please,
state your name and address.
Jensen: Mayor -- Madam Mayor and Council Members, my name is CrystaJina Jensen.
I live at 2870 South Goldbar Avenue, Meridian, Idaho. And I serve as the chairman of
the board for Compass Public Charter School at this time. I'm proud to report that we
opened school on Monday and began operatIons. Prior to beginning our school
operations we did go through the necessary building inspections. We had an inspection
conducted by the -- let me get that. The building and safety -- division of building and
safety and that was conducted on June 27th and they didn't find anything out of the
ordinary, other than what had been pointed out by the Meridian fire department. We
had worked closely with the Meridian fire department to bring the building into
compliance and up to code. So, we installed fire and smoke alarms, strobe lights in the
classrooms. We did some work, added some panic hardware to the doors and
everything here up to code and as of Friday we had received our occupancy permit.
And that was August 13th, I -- no. 12th, I believe, that we received that. Everything
seems to be going well. We dId contact the homes that are directly behind the facility.
There are three homes that are directly impacted by our area that we have designated
for our play in the recess area. We spoke with two of the homeowners -- one of the
homeowners actually shares about 200 feet of fence back there, the most impacted
one, and we spoke with them and told them what we were doing and trying to be a good
neighbor and introduce ourself. The only concern that was brought to us was they didn't
want a high school and when we told her that they would be elementary age children, K
through 7, that seemed to be very pleasing to them. We are trying to continue to be
good neighbors and make sure that balls don't fly over. I know we had two loose balls
on the first day, but I think we have taken care of that, and we have tried to move the
ball play, actually, into the gymnasium area away from that fence. We are putting In
some tether balls -- or just temporary tether balls that we roll out, so the children may
play with balls, that they will be more controlled. And we are going to be putting -- trying
to do some temporary four square and those kinds of things, a little further away from
that fence. We are tryIng to be careful and respectful of.their property. The biggest
recess issue, I belIeve, is our lunch time runs from 1 :30 to -- 11 :30 to 1 :00, which is
about one and a half hours, and that's more of a continuous type thing where we had
children going out and, then, leaving and kind of circulating the children through there.
But as of rIght now have had concerns raised by the neighbors. As far as the drop off
and pIck up, the children -- the drop off has, actually, gone quite smoothly. We are
training our parents the best we can to show them that they enter and, then, drop off
and, then, because we have the rear blocked off in the mornings, we are asking them to
exit back out onto Cherry Lane and, then, turn left -- or right, a right turn only. And,
then, the pick up is a little bit trickier, because we have to match the kids up with the
cars and so we have designated the parking -- the parking along that side -- I'm even
not sure what direction it is, but that side over here --
Donnell: Excuse me. ChrIS, would you use the pointer?
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 44 of 58
Jensen: Thank you. That helps. Right here is where we are having our car -- our car
pools park. A car pool consists of any -- more than four children -- or four or more
children that are gettIng into a car. We are having the parents come in and, then, pick
up their children, car pools are parked here. We have a person that has a stop sign and
helping these car pool parents walk across over here, pick up their children that are
waiting right here, return back safety to their cars and, then, they are exiting out this
way. We are havIng people that don't -- just parents that are picking up their chlldren
that aren't car pooling coming in, picking up theIr children here, and, then, we actually
have opened this up and having them exit out this way. It seems to flow much better.
The first day we were struggling a lIttle bit here with some backup and we found that
when we have them exiting this way it just helps everybody move much quicker. It took
us 21 minutes on the first day, we broke it down to 13 today. So, we are movIng in the
right directIon. Because we are trying to avoid having any cars out onto Cherry Lane
Road. Other than that, I think that those were the concerns. Is there any other
questions?
De Weerd: Questions from Council?
Bird: I have none, Mayor.
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: It just sounds like buses. Picking them up and leaving. You do get better at it,
don't you, after the first couple of days. It truly does. I just have a question and perhaps
this is of Anna. And can you explain the sunset clause? Can you explain that tonight?
Canning: I will look it up and read it to you.
Donnell: Okay. Thank you. I actually looked for it, Anna, In all these pages, but I didn't
fi nd It.
Canning: It's -- Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, it's, actually, rather simple. It
just says the subject CondItional Use PermIt belongs to the subject applicant and shall
expire when Compass Public Charter School vacates the property. TraditIonally, a
Conditional Use Permit runs with land, not with the applicant.
Donnell: Okay.
De Weerd: Any other questions? Thank you. We do have one other signed up to
testify or indicate their support of and that's Jay Walker. Would you like to provide
testimony? Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to provide testimony on this
application? Okay. Hearing none, any final comment? Thank you. Okay. Council?
Bird: Madam Mayor?

Item 22:
Public Hearing: AZ 05-025 Request for Annexation and Zoning of 5.47
acres from RUT to R-4 zone for Meridian Hiah School by Hummel
Architects - 1900 West Pine Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you. Item 22 is AZ 05-025. I will open this public hearing with staff
comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this is a request by Meridian High
School and for MeridIan High School. It's located on the north side of Pine Street, west
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 46 of 58
of Linder. The application that's before you tonIght is for annexation and zoning. They
are asking you to annex and zone 5.47 acres from RUT to R-4. And the purpose of the
annexation and zoning would be to eventually allow a fIeld house, additional
classrooms, and practice fields on the property. And I have a future expansion site plan
there for you. I'll let the applicant go through that in more detail. The Planning and
Zoning Commission did designate approval at the July 7th hearing. Paul Geile -- I'm not
sure on the pronunciation -- spoke in opposition. He was concerned that with the
residential zoning, that the school district could sell the property and, then, someone
could build houses on it, instead of a school facility. It was really the only issue of
discussion and to our knowledge there are no outstanding issues before CouncIl.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Any questions for staff? Would the applicant like to
make comment at this time? If you will, please, state your name and address.
Daniels: Ed Daniels, Hummel Architects, 2785 Bogus Basin.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Daniels: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, the school district has owned this
property -- I'm not sure how long, but they have utilized it as a ball field. And as they
expand some of their programs at Meridian High School, we have discovered that it was
not annexed and nor did the chief of -- I don't know if it's a condition of a building permit
or not, but that's the main reason why we were requesting the annexation and the
rezone.
De Weerd: Yeah. I think it was a surprIse to see that that is the piece, because I
thought it was part of the complex as well. Any questions for the applicant? Okay.
Mrs. Donnell?
Donnell: Madam Mayor. So, I'm assuming that this is going to be one of the projects
that will be included in the upcoming bond issue?
Daniel: I believe so.
Donnell: So, we need to get this annexed.
Daniel: We need to get it annexed. We are behind.
Donnell: So, if that is the case, that that land will be used, that the district has not
desired to subdivide -- sell the property and --
Daniel: Not that I'm aware of. No.
Donnell: He keeps lookIng at the person who knows. Don't trust anything that man
says.
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 47 of 58
Daniel: That's rIght.
De Weerd: Okay. Any further questions, Council? Thank you. Anna, in response to
the concern by the neighboring property, is there somethIng in the conditional -- or in
this -- in the Findings that can help ease their mind? Was that discussed at Planning
and Zoning?
Canning: Madam Mayor, I don't belIeve it was made a -- I don't believe the school
district was required to put it on a development agreement. I think the fact that the
school district does have plans for using the site, the only other property that I have
known of the school district disposing of was ones where they didn't have an existing
facility, so --
De Weerd: Well -- and I think this facility IS already short land, anyway. I can't imagine
them piecing it off. I think they would have some citizens that would voice some
concern.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Before we close, I agree, I don't -- they have been using it -- they have been using
it as a school property and why it didn't get annexed, I don't know. Christine could
probably tell us.
Donnell: Before my time.
Bird: Anyway, I don't see that as a problem and I don't think legally that we could -- we
could attach that to an -- to an annexation or a zone change. I don't -- I would be
interested if the Council has any different opinion, but I don't think we can or -- nor do
we need to, myself. I don't have no concern.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, currently the property has no
frontage on the street, so --
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Councll, there has been no discussion of the
need for any kind of a development agreement on this and I understand the school
district has certain procedures that they would have to follow before they could dispose
of land anyway, so there would be additional public process in the future and your
decision today wouldn't affect any of that.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone who would like to provide public
testimony on this item? Yes, sir. If you will just, please, state your name and address
for the record.

Geile: My name is Paul Geile and I live at 4717 Willow Lane in Boise. And my father
does own the 20-acre piece adjacent to the west. And I guess I'm glad I came here to
clarify my testimony from last time. I really wasn't at all opposed to the annexation of
this property and in terms of building houses, I just found it curious that the school
district could get a piece of property and put it into R-4 and, then, have a use on it that
was clearly outside of an R-4 zoning and -- which is okay. I mean I guess we are going
to let them go ahead -- they are not going to build houses there, we know that much.
But it seems curious to me that if you have an R-4 and you were a school district that
owned the R-4, then, you could put, essentially, commercial buildings on there and I
was concerned that, you know, if you could cIrcumvent that regulation, what other
regulations could you circumvent insIde of R-4, what else could you build there, without
-- you know, since you're clearly not under the R-4 designation. I don't suspect they are
going to do anything crazy, but when I looked at it, it -- I expected there to be a school
zoning that I could come look at a set of limitations. There wasn't any. So, that as a
neighbor it made me a little concerned that sInce there really weren't any regulations on
a school district and the zoning board member told me we traditionally just let them
build whatever they want to build on their property. As a neighbor that makes me a little
concerned. And in talking to the -- your planner at Meridian city, I got the impression
that there was no other point at which the public would have input on what was built on
that property, since they don't have to have another Conditional Use PermIt, there is no
other -- there is no other phase for us to voice concerns If they intend to put something
there that is obtrusive. The things -- I live right next to Willow Lane athletic complex In
Boise. They have lighted ball fields there and those are an incredibly intrusive use in
that neIghborhood. They are going to put some lIghted ball fields here. If the
neIghborhood doesn't mind, that's fine, and, then, they will put them in. But I was just --
this was the very last point at which I could get some public input on how that process
went and I'm kInd of counting on your staff people, when they do their compliance with
-- when they finally decide what they are going to build, I'm given to understand that
they will have to comply WIth the setbacks and buffer and all of that business, but I
remember developing around Haven 5 and 4, where you couldn't necessarily rely on
that very well and back in the day. So, if I can get an assurance from you that they are
going to do that property and carefully and protect my interest as a neIghbor, that's
probably all I can ask from you, because the annexation is -- needs to happen and we
need to build their thIng, but can you see how that puts me, as a neighbor -- and a fairly
heavily Invested next door neIghbor, kind at a disadvantage, because we just don't have
any other public input. And there are no concerns right now about what they are going
to build, because they are also not Ilmited to the plan that they presented to you. They
could build something else entirely. So, once they get passed you on an R-4 -- as a
neighbor I'm not protected against quite a few things. But I mean -- if I'm understanding
this correctly. And I'm not suggesting they are going to do crazy things, I just needed to
bring that to your attention. And with corrections to the last -- or the characterIzation of
my testimony last time, I certaInly did not oppose it and I don't know other
neighborhoods are concerned that there is going to be office there, but it was just odd
that it would land in an R-4, which means something to one owner and means
something entirely different to another owner.
Meridian City Council

Page 49 of 58
De Weerd: Well, they are a quasi-public use and that is -- a commercial building is not-
- would not be allowed in an R-4 zone.
Geile: Well, right. And by a commercial I mean a gymnasIum style building that you
would not allow in another R-4 designation if It were a private owner. I mean it just -- it
just was -- the juxtaposition was that it seemed to -- when I walked into this I assumed
that a cleaner process would be that there was a school zoning or a zoning that would
more properly contain uses like that and buildings of that nature, other than R-4. But
there isn't, so I'm willIng to go ahead and let them do it, but it just was -- as a neighbor, I
needed you to know that my -- that even the public input from the surrounding
neIghbors is pretty limited and if you look around Meridian, probably one of your
absolute biggest customers in terms of property value, traffic, footprint on Meridian city,
the school district is a very large consumer and to have them be outside of that
regulation is -- was just odd to me. But, you know, I talked to their representative and
he thinks they are completely over-regulated. So, we might be right where we need to
be. But, anyway, when I brought it to the attention of the planner, he kind of thought it
was a lIttle odd, too, but -- and he understood my concerns, but this, apparently, is my
last chance to speak and I thought I'd go for it. So, that's all I have.
De Weerd: Well, I appreciate your comments.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I'd like Ted to explain why schools are in R-4s.
Baird: Actually, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, Councilmember Bird, Anna
might be better prepared to address this. All I can say is that under the zoning
regulations public schools are permitted uses in residential zones and I think it's
probably under the principal that you want our residents to have schools nearby and,
Anna, you have been through the process of looking at the development code and
revamping it and all the reasons that we do the things the way we do, perhaps you have
some insight you could add on this.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I mean it -- we are most familiar with
the large public schools that go in. There are also a number of small private schools
that are very appropriate in a residential district. So, they are allowed in that district.
Sometimes they are conditionally allowed and I don't have a copy of our current zoning
ordinance, but the -- WIth me, but I do have the Unified Development Code and although
schools are a principal permitted use in some zones, they are condition in others and
right now the R-4 school would be a conditional use in the Unified Development Code
proposal that's -- you're in the midst of considering at this time. So, it would not be the
last opportunity to comment on this. I believe the remainder of the school property is R-
4 and that's why they went with the R-4 designation, even though it restricts them a little
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 50 of 58
bit more than the light offIce zoning would, where we see that on some of the other
properties.
Geile: So, there wlll be a Conditional Use Permit process for whatever they would like
to build in the future and at that point there will be more public input opportunity?
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council -- yes, there will be.
Geile: Okay. I was unaware of that and the people I talked to gave me the impression
that there was not that opportunity to comment on specific things that are being built in
that -- on that property. So, I guess maybe we will see you another day when they nail
down what exactly they are going to build and we will be notified like we would any
other -- any other user. So, I think that's all I have.
De Weerd: Thank you.
Baird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes.
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I do happen to have the current code in
front of me. And, just to clarify for the record, public schools appear to be a permitted
use in the R-4 under the current code, so if an application were to come before the new
code's passed, which IS targeted within the next month, we wouldn't have that
conditional use process. I'm seeing somebody shaking his head that It's unlikely to
happen, but maybe it IS. Okay. It very well could be. So, I'm glad I put that on the
record to clarify current code versus -- versus the new code.
Geile: And, then, it's changing to the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit?
Baird: That's correct. And we are going through a process of identifying how -- when
applications are accepted and what code they are under and we are giving people an
opportunity to get their foot in the door before the code, because they are entitled to
know what the current rules are, what the -- what the upcoming rules are and -- so we
can have an orderly transition for that.
Geile: Well, in talking to the architects, it's unlikely that we will oppose whatever things
they -- I mean if what they propose is similar to what they have on the driving board
now, it probably won't be a problem even with a CondItional Use Permit process. It was
just disconcertIng that there wasn't one.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you. Is there any other testimony on this application? Would
the applicant like to have any wrap-up words? Okay. Council?
Donnell: Okay. Madam Mayor?

high school in the state of Idaho and possibly the world and just to say that I'm glad that
generations of students will no longer have to run wind sprints on the annexed property,
there will be a building there, and so that wlll help me sleep a little better at night. With
that, Madam Mayor --
De Weerd: You still have dreams to that.

applicant comments and to providing some--

Item 23:
Public Hearing: VAC 05~010 Request to vacate 16 foot right of way
easement on Lots 1-9, Block 1 of the amended plat of the Townsite of
Meridian for Meridian Creamerv by Zeke Johnson - 27 East Broadway
Avenue:
De Weerd: Thank you, Item 23 is a Public Hearing on VAC 05-010. I will open this
Public Hearing with staff comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, this project is for the Meridian
Creamery. It's, as you know, located at 27 East Broadway Avenue. This is a vacation
application and they are requesting to vacate 16 feet of the rIght of way easement. It's
not, actually, a right of way, it's somewhere in between and it's Lots 1 through 9, Block
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 52 of 58
1, of the amended plat in the Townsite of Meridian. Mr. Johnson already briefed you on
this in great detail a few weeks ago, so I'm going to keep it short, but just to summarIze
It, the additional right of way was requested at sometime in the past, thInking that they
might actually put a street there, I would believe, and -- but it's never been developed by
ACHD and there doesn't seem to be a need for it at this time. P&Z has recommended
approval. It was not a Public Hearing, it was a public meetIng item. There are no maIn
issues before Council. You wlll receive another request in the near future to vacate the
alley right of way in this area. And with that I will end staff's presentation.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Is the applicant here tonight?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird.
Bird: May I ask a question? For public testimony, I don't believe that Mr. Johnson is the
owner of this property. He IS representing the owner and has the proper papers and
that we are -- I just want that clear for -- so somebody can't -- and what we are going is
just making a recommendation to ACHD recommending this vacation; am I not right on
that? Okay.
Baird: Madam Mayor, would you like me to address that?
Bird: Yes, please.
De Weerd: Yes. Mr. Baird.
Baird: To clear up any confusion? Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, when we
first discussed thIS preliminarlly a few weeks back, there was a question as to whether
this was, indeed, in ACHD's jurisdiction and I have confirmed with them that we are to
treat this as we do all other requests for vacation, that being that after the conclusion of
the hearing, the expectation would be that the Council would entertain a motion to
recommend or not recommend to the Ada County Highway District that they proceed
with their vacation proceedings. So, they are the final authority on this. They are
looking for a recommendation from you.
De Weerd: Okay. Thank you for the clarity. This is a Public Hearing. Is there anyone
who would like to provide testimony on this application?
Bowman: My name is Clair Bowman, I'm the administrator for the Urban Renewal
District, Meridian Development Corporation. I live at 4400 West Legacy Lane. I don't
know whether we need anythIng on the record officially about the anticipation of what
will happen here, but that same issue for the right of way easement will exist on the
Zamzow property to the east. There used to be a street down here called Railroad
Avenue that was vacated in 1938 -- '37 or '38. And at that tIme these easements were
placed on the north half of this row of lots anticipating that the alley might become the
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 53 of 58
street at some point in the future. This is just one piece of what will be coming as
another part of a package at a later date. That would be all I would have to add,
Madam Mayor.
De Weerd: Okay. Any questions for Clair? No. Thank you. Is there anyone else who
would like to provide testimony on this application? Okay. Council?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move we close the Public Hearing on VAC 05-010.
Donnell: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. Motion to close Item No. 23. All those in favor say aye. All ayes.
Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
De Weerd: So, I need a motion to recommend action to the ACHD commission.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we approve VAC 05-010, a recommendation to Ada County Highway
District to vacate Lots -- a 16-foot right of way easement on Lots 1 through 9, Block 1, of
the amended plat of the townsite of Meridian for the Meridian Creamery, represented by
Zeke Johnson at 27 East Broadway Avenue.
Wardle: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. The motion is to approve the request and recommend approval to --
whatever. Mr. Berg, will you call roll.
Berg: Thank you, Madam Mayor, and I will call roll and I just want to make sure that we
are approving the Findings also for recommendation that the Council's giving to ACHD.
De Weerd: That sounds much easier.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.

Item 24:
Ordinance No. 05~1170 Repealing Existing Zoning and
Subdivision Regulations Codified at Title 11 and Title 12 of the
Meridian City Code; Re-Enacting a New Title 11 To Be Known As the
Unified Development Code (2nd of 3 Readings):
Item 25:
Ordinance No. 05-1171 : Enacting a New Provision of the
Unified Development Code Pertaining to Development Along the
State Highways to Be Codified at Title 11, Chapter 3, Article H of the
Meridian City Code; Adding a New Definition of the Term "Approach"
to Title 11 ~ Chapter 1 ~ Article A, Section 1 of the Meridian City Code
(2nd of 3 Readings):
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Berg. Okay. We have a second reading on Items 24 and
25. I would ask Council if you have any comments on these two items? We -- Mr.
Baird.
Baird: Madam Mayor, last week and the end of the -- Madam Mayor, Members of the
Council, at the end of the Public Hearing on the first reading there was some possible
questions from the Council that may not have been answered or some -- an opportunity
to provide direction to staff for items that they did or didn't want to see in the final
. version. You had a number of possible alternatives presented to you by some of the
speakers and I sensed that there was some desire by some of the Council members to
provide input. I believe that planning staff would appreciate any input that you have, so
when we bring this back for the third reading we have the final version as you would like
to see it. So, tonIght would be a good opportunity to proVIde that Input. I should also
say while I have the floor we are anticipating deferring the third reading for one week.
We won't bring that back next week, but we would bring it back -- I believe we will have
a meeting on August 30th, even though that Monday is a holiday, we are still here. So,
we would have final reading at that time. That's my understanding and we probably can
adjust that as we put the ordinance together. There IS no requirement that we actually
bring It back, but what we want to do IS allow planning staff a little bit of additional time
to incorporate what are a large number of both technical and substantive changes,
although the substantive changes that you have before you are not -- they don't rise to
the level of being material that would require us to start over again. Everything has
been well noticed, well discussed, but now is the time to bring it all together, so that you
know exactly what you're passing on the third reading.
De Weerd: Okay. Any comment from our Council?
Donnell: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mrs. Donnell.
Donnell: So, Mr. Baird, what we are talking about is giving the staff some direction as to
whether this should come back with -- in their recommendations that they -- when we
had our first reading they talked about they were okay with certain sections of it, okay
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 55 of 58
with certain recommendations or suggestions. I think Mr. Turnbull was here and was
providing some input. Or whether we go ahead without that, is that -- am I to
understand that's what you -- did you understand what I said?
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, and Councilmember Donnell, exactly. I
think we closed the hearing -- we closed the hearing and moved on last week and I
sense that you had some input you still wanted to give and maybe Anna might also
want to tell you exactly what she might be looking for at this point.
De Weerd: Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor -- I'll let Anna go first and, then, I give her my comments.
Canning: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, just to clarify on a couple issues. I
don't think I heard you tell me anything about whether or not on conditional uses for day
cares, if you wanted that to just end with that first applicant or continue like all other
conditional uses do. I believe the issue on the alcoholic beverages at the drive-up, we
decided that the state code would deal WIth that. And there was a little bit of an
outstanding issue on the 26 foot driveway cut for parkways as far as counting as open
space and I have done a little additional research since the last meeting on that subject.
I had Christy Vigil go out and before she left the office to pick 50 lots in five different
subdivisions, so ten lots in five different subdivisions, so a total of 50 lots, and go out
and measure them, just so we had an idea of what was being bullt. Interestingly
enough, Paramount Subdivision did come in with an average of 26 foot driveway cuts
for theIr -- for theIr lots. Most of the others were higher, though. So, the overall average
ended up being 29 feet three inches. So, I provide that information to Council. This is a
real quandary. I think as a city it's a good thIng to encourage these parkways and with
the eight foot width ACHD has kind of discouraged them, so, on the other hand, if that's
the only open space that that property owner is going to get and everybody around
happens to have 40 foot drIveway cuts, then, they are not going to get as much benefit
out of that open space as some other folks would. So, it's a little bit of a quandary on
that one. Other than that, you seem to be okay on the parking standards, which I
haven't heard anything about that would come as an item that you had raised concern
with previously. And I think those were the only kind of question marks that I just hadn't
heard from you one way or the other on those issues.
De Weerd: Thank you. Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: Madam Mayor. My comments, Anna, with the conditional use, I would prefer
that that stay with the property as far as the child care areas. We certainly can poll the
Council in just a moment. I would also prefer that we reduce the width to 26 feet to
incorporate some standards that would help more parkways within the city as a
minimum standard. In additIon, to address another issue in Mr. Turnbull's letter, the
ability for a drive-thru establishment to, for example, be at one end of -- two ends of a
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 56 of 58
retail building that may be less than 300 feet apart, I thInk is an adequate compromise
to our standards.
CannIng: And that's how it was always intended. I just didn't word it very well.
Donnell: Good.
Canning: One other clarification, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. I thought the
edits were going to take me some time. I worked Sunday, knowing that I would be gone
on vacation, so -- and today snuck in some time and I actually have all the edits done,
except for the ones that you're going to proposed tonight. I still need to do some
formatting. So, I can have that copy available rather quickly. I do just -- I won't be here,
so it's going to be -- I can't make your next hearing date, but the 30th I should be able to
have a copy ready for you, a clean copy ready by that date.
De Weerd: Thank you, Anna. Is there any further -- okay. We need to have a second
reading. Mr. Berg, could you, please, read Items 24 and 25 by title only.
Berg: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Ordinance 05-1171 by title.
An Ordinance enacting a new provision of the Unified Development Code pertaining to
development along state highway -- okay -- to be codified at Title 11, Chapter 3, Article
H, of Meridian City Code, adding a new definition of the term approach to Title 11,
Chapter 1, Article A, Section 1, of the Meridian City Code and providing an effective
date.
Berg: And Ordinance 05-1170 -- I'm sorry I got those messed up. An ordinance
repealing existing zoning and subdivision regulations codified at TItle 11 and Title 12 of
the Meridian City Code, reenacting a new Title 11 to be known as Unified Development
Code and providing an effective date.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Berg. So, the third reading will be --
Baird: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I understood Mrs. Canning to indicate
that she would have that clean copy ready for submission to the city clerk for third
reading on the 30th of August. Is that--
Canning: It gives me one day, but -- my one day back. But I should be able to do that.
Baird: And if there IS any problem -- no. We are going to make that happen. It's got to
be the 30th.
Item 26:
Ordinance No. 05~1172 : RZ 05~007 Request for a Rezone of
.13 acres from R-8 zone to 0- T zone for Meridian Counselina &
Wellness Center by Ruth & Jeff Ulmer - 934 East 5th Street:
Meridian City Council
August 16, 2005
Page 57 of 58
De Weerd: Okay. Item 26 is Ordinance No. 05-1172. Mr. Berg, will you, please, read
this by title only.
Berg: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council. Ordinance 05-1172, an
ordinance finding that Ruth and Jeff Ulmer, the owners of certain real property, have
made a written request for rezoning of the zoning classification for real property located
on a parcel of land being the north one half of Lot 7and 8, Block 1, Cottage Home
Addition, as recorded in Book One of the plats, at page 42, records of Ada County,
Idaho, and lying in the northwest quarter of Section 7, Township 3 North, Range 1 East,

and rezoning certain lands and territories situated in Ada county, Idaho, and within the
corporate limits of the City of Meridian and rezoning the land use zoning classification of
said lands from R-8, medium density, OT, Old Town, in the Meridian City Code,
providing that copies of this ordinance shall be filed with the Ada county assessor, the
Ada county recorder, and the Idaho State Tax Commission as required by law and
providing for a summary of the ordinance and providing for a waiver the reading of the
rules and providing an effective date.
De Weerd: Thank you. You have heard Item 26 read by title only. Is there anyone who
would like to hear it read in its entirety? Okay. Hearing none.
Wardle: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Wardle.
Wardle: I move that we approve Item No. 26, Ordinance No. 05-1172 with suspension
of rules.
Bird: Second.

REQUIRED FINDINGS
According to Ordinance 11-18-1, Variances, the Council may authorize in specific cases
a variance from the terms of either the Zoning or Subdivision Ordinance. Specifically, the
Ordinance lists the following Findings (MCCII-18-3), all of which must be determined
before granting a variance:
EXHIBIT B
eitiBank Variance
V AR-OS-Oll
Required Findings
A. That there are such special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property that the strict application of the provisions of this Title would
clearly be impracticable or unreasonable;
City Council finds that there are special circumstances affecting the property
that would make the strict application of the sign ordinance impracticable or
unreasonable. Staff finds that the unusually large building and lot for a single
tenant does create a need for directional signage in order to minimize confusion.
The existing building contains approximately 176,289 square feet of office space
and occupies a lot which is 28.03 acres in size. It is unusual for a building this
large to have a single tenant, which makes them ineligible for a Planned Sign
Program for multiple signs of sufficient size to function as intended. City
Council fmds that the size of the lot, configuration of the building, and the
physical conditions affecting the property is an extraordinary hardship. The
sign ordinance did not anticipate single tenant buildings of this size, and has no
provisions for adequate signage to promote efficient navigation of the site
through multiple large signs.
B. That strict compliance with the requirements of this Title would result in
extraordinary hardship to the owner, subdivider or developer because of
unusual topography, the nature or condition of adjacent development, other
physical conditions or other conditions that make strict compliance with this
Title unreasonable under the circumstances, or that the conditions and
requirements of this Title will result in inhibiting the achievements or the
objectives of this Title;
City Council finds that the unusually large building and lot for a single tenant
does create a need for larger directional signage in order to minimize confusion
and promote efficient navigation of the site. Staff finds that the size of the lot,
configuration of the building, and the physical conditions affecting the property
is an extraordinary hardship.
City Council does find specific circumstances and conditions that make strict
compliance with MCCll-14-9C.1 unreasonable.
C. That the granting of the specified variance will not be detrimental to the
public's welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the
property is situated;
City Council finds that the requested variance will not be detrimental to the
public's welfare or injurious to other properties in the area. City Council finds
that the granting of the variance will be beneficial to the welfare of the public by
minimizing traffic conflicts on the adjoining public roadways, which could be
caused by confused visitors who are unsure of which building entrance to use.
D. That such variance will not have the effect of altering the interest and
purpose of this Title and the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.
City Council finds that the issuance of a variance for the additional monument
sign will not have the effect of altering the purpose and interest of the Sign
Ordinance.

Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in
tenns of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answeling the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by City Council:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
All 29 acres of the subject property are designated for medium density residential
use on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The purpose of this
designation is "to allow smaller lots for residential purposes within city limits.
Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units
per acre." (Page 93, Chapter VII, City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan).
The applicant is requesting three different zoning designations for four different
land uses on the subject property. The R-4 zone (Low Density) is requested for
the 17-acre school site. The City Council is SUDDOliive of this Dfooosed R-4
zonine: desie:nation as schools are Drincioallv oennitted in the reauested zone and
this zone is consistent with the Future Land Use Man.
The R-8 zone (Medium Density) is requested for the five, one-acre single-family
lots in Westborough Subdivision. While this designation is consistent with the
Future Land Use Map, it is not consistent with the existing land use. The R-8
zone is geared towards developments containing between four and eight dwelling
units per acre and the subject density is approximately one dwelling unit per acre.
The Citv Council finds that the City should zone this oronertv to R-4 R-2 as the
R:-4 R-2 zone would more accuratelv corresoond to the use of the land as one-acre
residential lots.
The R-15 zone (Medium High Density) is requested for the six office lots and one
multi-family lot (6.62 acres total). The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step
increase or decrease in residential areas without amending the Comprehensive
Plan. The R-15 district allows for medium-high density single-family attached
and multi-family dwellings at densities not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre
(MCC 11-7-2.E). In addition to the multi-family, the applicant is requesting CUP
approval to construct office buildings within the proposed residential zone (see
CUP-05-027). The applicant states in the submittal letter that the neighborhood
center shown between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road should "float" to
the east because there is not a collector roadway intersecting Chinden at the Y2
mile and the existing uses do not lend themselves to the neighborhood center
concept (see Applicant's letter). The applicant is also being taxed by the County
as if this property had commercial potential. Therefore, a more intense use than
medium density residential is appropriate here.
Although there is not currently a public street south of Chinden near the Y2 mile
there is a public street on the north side of Chinden Boulevard in Spyglass
Subdivision. This public street is located at approximately the Y2 mile. When the
properties to the south of Spyglass Subdivision develop/redevelop, the City
Council believes that a public collector road could be constructed at the Y2 mile
(and possibly signalized when warrants are met). However, several developments
will utilize Jericho Road and the City Council believes this road will function
similar to a collector road for this area, thus making the subject site part of the
envisioned neighborhood center. Further, this property has frontage on a highway,
which makes a higher intensity use for this property agreeable.
The City Council also recognizes that the location of the neighborhood center
designation on the Future Land Use Map is conceptual. Neighborhood Centers are
anticipated to have: short blocks, less than 300 feet; interconnected circulation
that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit; a variety of housing
choices; housing that is arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities;
transition between different housing types or densities at alleys; gridded street
patterns; and, public open space. Further, the purpose of a neighborhood center is
to create a centralized, pedestrian oriented, identifiable and day-to-day service
oriented focal point for the neighborhood. The center should offer an internal
circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods or regional
pathways, and they are anticipated to serve as public transit locations for park and
ride lots, bus stops, and other alternative modes of transportation (see Pages 95-
97, Chapter VII of the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan).
The project does have some internal sidewalks and does propose one sidewalk to
the adjacent school site to the south. Except for the sidewalk along the entry
driveway, no other pedestrian connectivity is proposed between the multi-family
dwellings and the office portion of the development. The lack of accessibility
from the residential portion of the development to the proposed patio/plaza
amenity in the office portion of the development (on the comer of Chinden and
Jericho) turns what could have been an active amenity into a passive one that few
would use. In addition to the amenity not being accessible to the residences within
the project, this amenity has not been offered for use by the public either. Even if
the patio in the office portion of the development counts as one amenity, this
project is lacking a second amenity as defined by MCC. See Special
Consideration #2 in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report.
While the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map does not explicitly support
a commercial zoning of this property, the City Council finds that there are several
Comprehensive Plan pol1cies that support evaluating this site for a zone not
specifically envisioned by the Map (see below).
"The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for
decisions concerning the physical development of the community. It
indicates, in a general way, how the community may develop in the next
five to ten years." (Chapter I, Section B of the Comprehensive Plan)
Fmihermore, in Chapter VII, Section C, "Future Conditions" states the following:
"Figure VII-2 [The Comprehensive Land Use Map] depicts desired future
land use categories and their location within the hnpact Area. The areas
depicted on the map are conceptual and, therefore, will require further
analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map."
Because the Comprehensive Plan is a guide when detennining land uses, the City
Council believes that this is an instance to "float" the neighborhood center to this
site. There are five large one-acre lots to the south, a school to the southeast, a
church directly to the east, and the properties to the west have yet to develop. If
the non-residential aspect of the neighborhood center is moved away from the Y2
mile, no significant negative impacts are envisioned for the adjacent properties in
the mile between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road. At the public hearing,
some of the I-acre property owners to the south testified that they would not be
agreeable to R-15 zoning/multi-family uses directly to their north.
The Citv Council believes that a step UP in zoning densitv to R-15 for multi-
familv uses on the east side of this propertv is iustified. The Citv Council also
believes that non-residential uses (office) in an area planned for residential uses
is approoriate in this instance (as a use exception for the develooment). To more
accuratelv correlate the use of the land to the zoninl! of the land the Citv Council
believes that the Citv should zone the office/western portion of this propertv to L-
Q. The City Council further finds that the R-15 and L-O zone and concurrent
development applications generally comply with a majority of the policies, goals,
objectives, and concepts contained within the Comprehensive Plan.
The Commission also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies
to be applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy):
· "Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all
public services" (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items 1 and 4)
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. In that meeting no
deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised.
· "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
The applicant is only proposing one access point into the development from
Jericho Road, a local street. No access to Chinden Boulevard (SH 20-26) is
proposed. The City Council is supportive of the proposed access to the
property.
· "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective
D, Action item 4)
The applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide landscape berm along
Chinden Boulevard and a 20-foot wide landscape berm along Jericho Road.
The City Council is supportive of these widths (see Preliminary Plat
conditions for further details).
· "Require new residential development to meet development standards
regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective C, Action item 4)
The applicant has not depicted appropriate landscape buffers between the
multi-family dwellings and the school site to the south (20-feet required),
between the multi-family dwellings and the church to the east (20-feet
required), or between the proposed office and the multi-family dwellings (20-
feet required).
· "Require useable open space to be incorporated into new residential
subdivision plats." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3)
Open space may be active or passive in its intended use, and must be
accessible by all residents of the subdivision (MCC 12-1316-3). The applicant
does state that 37% of the multi-familyloffice area (approximately 2 acres) is
planned for landscaping. The applicant should provide useable open space in
accordance with Meridian City Code.
· "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions
together and promote neighborhood connectivity." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective C, Action item 6)
The applicant is proposing a sidewalk connection to the south; no connection
to the east is proposed.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential
areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #5)
The subject property has frontage on Chinden Boulevard, an arterial
roadway. The City Council believes that the proposed commercial office
complements the adjoining residential area.
· "Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors
or other permanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near
major access thoroughfares." (Chapter VII, Goal V, Objective A, Action item
14)
There are currently no permanent major open space or park facilities near
this site. There is a charter school and associated open spaces with the school
use. This higher-density development is located adjacent to Chinden
Boulevard, a major thoroughfare.
· "Actively involve Joint School District No.2 in subdivision site selection with
developer before plat processing (pre-platting schedule meetings)." (Chapter
VI, Goal VI, Objective B, Action item 1)
A 17-acre school site is included within the subject annexation application.
· "Consider development applications that apply the neighborhood center
concept." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 1)
The subject applications generally apply the neighborhood center concept
outlined on pages 95 -97 of the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has listed some Comprehensive Plan policies that support the
annexation and proposed use of the property (see Applicant's letter dated
February 15, 2005).
For the reasons listed above the City Council finds that annexinf! and zonine- as
well as the desie-n of the !Jrovosed !Jlat and conditional use vermit. are in e-eneral
conformance with the Citv of Meridian Comvrehensive Plan.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
fu ture;
If the conCUlTent preliminary plat and conditional use pennit applications are
approved, the City Council does not believe that the applicant intends to rezone
the property in the future.
c. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
The five existing single-family homes in Westborough Subdivision are allowed in
both the requested R-8 zone and R-4 zone without a CUP. The 17-acre school site
is allowed in the requested R-4 zone without a CUP. The City Council recognizes
that approximately 6 acres of the area included in the proposed zoning
amendment is intended to be developed in a fashion not allowed (principally
permitted) under the proposed zoning. Both the proposed office uses and multi-
family uses require conditional use permits in the requested R-I5 zone (medium
high density). However, if the western portion of the 6 acres is zoned L-O, the
office area could be developed in a fashion allowed (principally permitted) under
the new zoning. The City does not cUlTently have a zone that principally permits
apartments. Therefore, the eastern portion of the site, proposed for multi-family,
requires conditional use permit approval.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Chinden Boulevard is
not in the CUlTent STIP and Locust Grove Road is not cUlTently scheduled within
ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for
roadway widening.
Permanent sanitary sewer to this proposed development shall be provided via the
North Slough Trunk, which is currently under construction, however laterals that
will provide service will be through future phases ofthe Saguaro Canyon
Subdivision.
The City Council finds that a substantial portion of the land to the south has been
developed, or approved for development. However, the City has not approved any
multi-family and/or office uses in this area. Arcadia Subdivision, Tustin
Subdivision and Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, all contained single-family
dwelling units. The City Council believes that the proposed development will be
compatible with and is similar to the adjacent area.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The City Council believes that this development will set the tone for how the rest
of the area along Chinden develops. The applicant has submitted elevations for
the proposed office and multi-family dwellings. The City Council is supportive of
the elevations for the multi-family and office buildings as they should be
hannonious with the existing and intended character of the area. The existing
character of the area will, and is, currently changing. However, the City Council
finds that if this site is developed as proposed, the zoning and subsequent uses
will be harmonious and appropriate to the intended character of the vicinity (see
Finding "A").
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, the City Council does not
anticipate that the zoning and proposed uses will be physically hazardous to future
or existing uses or neighbors in the area. The Council should rely on the analysis,
comments from other agencies, and public testimony to detennine whether the
proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and
future expected uses in this vicinity.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sewer service for this development is being proposed via the existing "private lift
station" constructed for the five previously approved lots to the south. When
public works reviewed and accepted the plans for this lift station, Public Works
staff was approving it for only the five lots that were proposed at the time,
Arcadia to the west, and the five-acre commercial property to the north.
Engineering staffhas reservations on the ability of this lift-station to service the
extra volume of sewage generated by the four-plexes that are now a part of this
development. In preliminary discussions the applicant and a staff engineer at the
City of Meridian have come to an agreement that the commercial portion of this
proposed development could be allowed with the stipulation that a flow meter be
installed to measure the true amount of sewage being "lifted". This would give
accurate infonnation on influent flows to allow for a more infonned opinion on
the sewerabilty ofthe remainder of the project.
Water mains are readily accessible to this site and service is being proposed via an
extension of water mains located in Jericho and Locust Grove. The applicant will
be required to construct water mains to and through this proposed development.
Coordinate size and routing with Public Works.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site storm water drainage facilities.
This item was approved at the stafflevel at ACHD on May 10,2005. The
applicant is being required to construct Jericho Road as one half of a 40 foot street
section. Please review any additional comments that may be sent from ACHD
between the print deadline and the hearing.
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Several comments were
received from multiple departments. The detailed comments and conditions from
the Fire Department, Police Department, and other agencies/departments are at
the end of this report. Based on the comments received from other
agencies/departments, the City Council finds that the public services listed above
can be made available to accommodate the proposed development.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents and tenants will be fire, police,
school facilities and services. The City Council finds there will not be excessive
additional requirements at public cost and this development will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
The most recent traffic count for Chin den Boulevard, taken on January 30,2003,
was 15,301 ADT, west of Meridian Road. ACHD estimates that this development
will generate 529 additional vehicle trips per day. The City Council recognizes
that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a development on this site;
however, the Council does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public.
The purpose of the L-O zone is to "permit the establishment of groupings of
professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical,
stenographic, public service and similar uses.. . shall not involve heavy testing
operations of any kind or product manufacturing of such a nature to create noise,
vibration or emissions of a nature offensive to the overall purpose of this
District." (MCC11-7-2.G) The purpose of the R-15 zone is to pennit the
establishment of medium-high density single-family attached and multi-family
dwellings at a density not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre. The City Council
does not anticipate that annexation and development in accordance with current
city code and the Comprehensive Plan will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes,
glare, or odors.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one entrance into the site from Jericho
Road. The proposed entrance is located approximately 285 feet south of Chinden
Boulevard, and meets ACHD's requirements for location. Ifthe proposed access
and internal driveways are approved and constructed in accordance with ACHD
and the City's policies, the City Council does not believe that the development
will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The City Council finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result
in the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as any existing
trees are protected/mitigated. Any existing trees that the City Arborist deems
necessary for mitigation that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the
Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13). The City Council is not aware of any
natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
In accordance with the findinf!s listed above the Citv Council finds that the
annexation/zoninf! of this IJrOlJertv as oroposed would not be in the best interest
of the Citv. However the Citv Council finds that the Gitv should annex and zone
the 17.02 acres to R-4 as reatlested' that the 5.53 acres vrovosed for R-8 zoninf!
that contain sinf!!e-familv homes on one-acre lots also be zoned to R-4 R -2. and
that the 6.62 acres vrovosed for R-15 zoninf! be zoned to zoned L-O for the
western lJortion containinf! office uses and R-15 for the eastern vortion
containinf! multi-familv dwellinf!s. Consistent with the Comvrehensive Plan and
the findinf!s listed above the Citv Council believes that the above-listed zones are
avvrovriate far this vravertv and zaninf! the vraverties as amended wauld be in
the best interest afthe Gitv.

Preliminary Plat Findings
Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the

Plan;
Please see Annexation and Zoning Analysis "A".
B. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed
development;

property will not require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
D. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
See finding "G" under Annexation and Zoning Analysis, and the Agency
Comments and Conditions.
E. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to
the Commission's attention.

Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in
terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by City Council:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
All 29 acres of the subject property are designated for medium density residential
use on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The purpose of this
designation is "to allow smaller lots for residential purposes within city limits.
Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units
per acre." (Page 93, Chapter VII, City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan).
The applicant is requesting three different zoning designations for four different
land uses on the subject property. The R-4 zone (Low Density) is requested for
the 17-acre school site. The City Council is suooortive of this orooosed R-4
zoninl! desimation as schools are orincioallv oermitted in the reauested zone and
this zone is consistent with the Future Land Use Mao.
The R-8 zone (Medium Density) is requested for the five, one-acre single-family
lots in Westborough Subdivision. While this designation is consistent with the
Future Land Use Map, it is not consistent with the existing land use. The R-8
zone is geared towards developments containing between four and eight dwelling
units per acre and the subject density is approximately one dwelling unit per acre.
The Citv Council finds that the City should zone this orooertv to R-4 R-2 as the
R-4 R-2 zone would more accurately corresoond to the use of the land as one-acre
residential lots.
The R-15 zone (Medium High Density) is requested for the six office lots and one
multi-family lot (6.62 acres total). The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step
increase or decrease in residential areas without amending the Comprehensive
Plan. The R-15 district allows for medium-high density single-family attached
and multi-family dwellings at densities not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre
(MCC 11-7-2.E). In addition to the multi-family, the applicant is requesting CUP
approval to construct office buildings within the proposed residential zone (see
CUP-05-027). The applicant states in the submittal letter that the neighborhood
center shown between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road should "float" to
the east because there is not a collector roadway intersecting Chinden at the Y2
mile and the existing uses do not lend themselves to the neighborhood center
concept (see Applicant's letter). The applicant is also being taxed by the County
as if this property had commercial potential. Therefore, a more intense use than
medium density residential is appropriate here.
Although there is not currently a public street south of Chinden near the 1Z mile
there is a public street on the north side of Chinden Boulevard in Spyglass
Subdivision. This public street is located at approximately the Y2 mile. When the
properties to the south of Spyglass Subdivision develop/redevelop, the City
Council believes that a public collector road could be constructed at the Y2 mile
(and possibly signalized when warrants are met). However, several developments
will utilize Jericho Road and the City Council believes this road will function
similar to a collector road for this area, thus making the subject site part of the
envisioned neighborhood center. Further, this property has frontage on a highway,
which makes a higher intensity use for this property agreeable.
The City Council also recognizes that the location of the neighborhood center
designation on the Future Land Use Map is conceptual. Neighborhood eenters are
anticipated to have: short blocks, less than 300 feet; interconnected circulation
that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit; a variety of housing
choices; housing that is arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities;
transition between different housing types or densities at alleys; gridded street
patterns; and, public open space. Further, the purpose of a neighborhood center is
to create a centralized, pedestrian oriented, identifiable and day-to-day service
oriented focal point for the neighborhood. The center should offer an internal
circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods or regional
pathways, and they are anticipated to serve as public transit locations for park and
ride lots, bus stops, and other alternative modes of transportation (see Pages 95-
97, Chapter VII of the City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan).
The project does have some internal sidewalks and does propose one sidewalk to
the adjacent school site to the south. Except for the sidewalk along the entry
driveway, no other pedestrian connectivity is proposed between the multi-family
dwellings and the office portion of the development. The lack of accessibility
from the residential portion of the development to the proposed patio/plaza
amenity in the office portion of the development (on the corner of Chinden and
Jericho) turns what could have been an active amenity into a passive one that few
would use. In addition to the amenity not being accessible to the residences within
the project, this amenity has not been offered for use by the public either. Even if
the patio in the office portion of the development counts as one amenity, this
project is lacking a second amenity as defined by MCC. See Special
Consideration #2 in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report.
While the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map does not explicitly supP011
a commercial zoning of this property, the City Council finds that there are several
Comprehensive Plan policies that support evaluating this site for a zone not
specifically envisioned by the Map (see below).
"The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for
decisions concerning the physical development of the community. It
indicates, in a general way, how the community may develop in the next
five to ten years." (Chapter I, Section B of the Comprehensive Plan)
Furthermore, in Chapter VII, Section C, "Future eonditions" states the following:
"Figure VII-2 [The Comprehensive Land Use Map] depicts desired future
land use categories and their location within the Impact Area. The areas
depicted on the map are conceptual and, therefore, will require further
analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map."
Because the Comprehensive Plan is a guide when determining land uses, the City
Council believes that this is an instance to "float" the neighborhood center to this
site. There are five large one-acre lots to the south, a school to the southeast, a
church directly to the east, and the properties to the west have yet to develop. If
the non-residential aspect of the neighborhood center is moved away from the 12
mile, no significant negative impacts are envisioned for the adjacent properties in
the mile between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road. At the public hearing,
some of the I-acre property owners to the south testified that they would not be
agreeable to R-15 zoning/multi-family uses directly to their north.
The Citv Council believes that a sten un in zoning density to R-15 for multi-
family uses on the east side of this nronertv isiustified. The City Council also
believes that non-residential uses (office) in an area nlanned for residential uses
is annrooriate in this instance (as a use excention for the develonment). To more
accuratel v correlate the use of the land to the zoning of the land the City eouncil
believes that the City should zone the office/western oortion of this oronertv to L-
Q. The City Council further finds that the R-15 and L-O zone and concurrent
development applications generally comply with a majority of the policies, goals,
objectives, and concepts contained within the Comprehensive Plan.
The Commission also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies
to be applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy):
· "Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all
public services" (ehapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items 1 and 4)
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. In that meeting no
deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised.
· "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" from the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
The applicant is only proposing one access point into the development from
Jericho Road, a local street. No access to Chinden Boulevard (SH 20-26) is
proposed. The City Council is supportive of the proposed access to the
property.
· "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective
D, Action item 4)
The applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide landscape berm along
Chinden Boulevard and a 20-foot wide landscape berm along Jericho Road.
The City Council is supportive of these widths (see Preliminary Plat
conditions for further details).
· "Require new residential development to meet development standards
regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective C, Action item 4)
The applicant has not depicted appropriate landscape buffers between the
multi-family dwellings and the school site to the south (20-feet required),
between the multi-family dwellings and the church to the east (20-feet
required), or between the proposed office and the multi-family dwellings (20-
feet required).
· "Require useable open space to be incorporated into new residential
subdivision plats." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3)
Open space may be active or passive in its intended use, and must be
accessible by all residents of the subdivision (MCC 12-]316-3). The applicant
does state that 37% of the multi-familyloffice area (approximately 2 acres) is
planned for landscaping. The applicant should provide useable open space in
accordance with Meridian City Code.
· "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions
together and promote neighborhood connectivity." (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective e, Action item 6)
The applicant is proposing a sidewalk connection to the south; no connection
to the east is proposed.
· "Locate new cOlmnunity commercial areas on arterials or collectors near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential
areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #5)
The subject property has frontage on Chinden Boulevard, an arterial
roadway. The City Council believes that the proposed commercial office
complements the adjoining residential area.
· "Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors
or other pennanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near
major access thoroughfares." (Chapter VII, Goal V, Objective A, Action item
14)
There are currently no permanent major open space or park facilities near
this site. There is a charter school and associated open spaces with the school
use. This higher-density development is located adjacent to Chinden
Boulevard, a major thoroughfare.
· "Actively involve Joint School District No.2 in subdivision site selection with
developer before plat processing (pre-platting schedule meetings)." (Chapter
VI, Goal VI, Objective B, Action item 1)
A 17-acre school site is included within the subject annexation application.
· "Consider development applications that apply the neighborhood center
concept." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 1)
The subject applications generally apply the neighborhood center concept
outlined on pages 95 -97 of the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has listed some Comprehensive Plan policies that support the
annexation and proposed use of the property (see Applicant's letter dated
February 15, 2005).
For the reasons listed above the Citv Council finds that annexinf! and zoninf! as
well as the desif!n of the orooosed olat and conditional use oermit are in f!eneral
conformance with the City of Meridian Comorehensive Plan.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
If the concurrent preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications are
approved, the City Council does not believe that the applicant intends to rezone
the property in the future.
c. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
The five existing single-family homes in Westborough Subdivision are allowed in
both the requested R-8 zone and R-4 zone without a CUP. The 17-acre school site
is allowed in the requested R-4 zone without a CUP. The eity Council recognizes
that approximately 6 acres of the area included in the proposed zoning
amendment is intended to be developed in a fashion not allowed (principally
permitted) under the proposed zoning. Both the proposed office uses and multi-
family uses require conditional use permits in the requested R-15 zone (medium
high density). However, if the western portion of the 6 acres is zoned L-O, the
office area could be developed in a fashion allowed (principally pennitted) under
the new zoning. The City does not currently have a zone that principally pennits
apartments. Therefore, the eastern portion of the site, proposed for multi-family,
requires conditional use permit approval.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Chinden Boulevard is
not in the current STIP and Locust Grove Road is not currently scheduled within
ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (eIP) for
roadway widening.
Pennanent sanitary sewer to this proposed development shall be provided via the
North Slough Trunk, which is currently under construction, however laterals that
will provide service will be through future phases of the Saguaro Canyon
Subdivision.
The eity Council finds that a substantial portion of the land to the south has been
developed, or approved for development. However, the City has not approved any
multi-family and/or office uses in this area. Arcadia Subdivision, Tustin
Subdivision and Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, all contained single-family
dwelling units. The City Council believes that the proposed development will be
compatible with and is similar to the adjacent area.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The City Council believes that this development will set the tone for how the rest
of the area along Chinden develops. The applicant has submitted elevations for
the proposed office and multi-family dwellings. The City Council is supportive of
the elevations for the multi-family and office buildings as they should be
hannonious with the existing and intended character of the area. The existing
character of the area will, and is, currently changing. However, the eity Council
finds that if this site is developed as proposed, the zoning and subsequent uses
will be hannonious and appropriate to the intended character of the vicinity (see
Finding "A").
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, the City Council does not
anticipate that the zoning and proposed uses will be physically hazardous to future
or existing uses or neighbors in the area. The Council should rely on the analysis,
comments from other agencies, and public testimony to detennine whether the
proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and
future expected uses in this vicinity.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sewer service for this development is being proposed via the existing "private lift
station" constructed for the five previously approved lots to the south. When
public works reviewed and accepted the plans for this lift station, Public Works
staff was approving it for only the five lots that were proposed at the time,
Arcadia to the west, and the five-acre commercial property to the north.
Engineering staff has reservations on the ability of this lift-station to service the
extra volume of sewage generated by the four-plexes that are now a part of this
development. In preliminary discussions the applicant and a staff engineer at the
City of Meridian have come to an agreement that the commercial portion of this
proposed development could be allowed with the stipulation that a flow meter be
installed to measure the true amount of sewage being "lifted". This would give
accurate information on influent flows to allow for a more informed opinion on
the sewerabilty of the remainder of the project.
Water mains are readily accessible to this site and service is being proposed via an
extension of water mains located in Jericho and Locust Grove. The applicant will
be required to construct water mains to and through this proposed development.
Coordinate size and routing with Public Works.
The applicant and/or future property owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site stonn water drainage facilities.
This item was approved at the stafflevel at ACHD on May 10,2005. The
applicant is being required to construct Jericho Road as one half of a 40 foot street
section. Please review any additional comments that may be sent from ACHD
between the print deadline and the hearing.
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Several comments were
received from multiple departments. The detailed comments and conditions from
the Fire Department, Police Department, and other agencies/departments are at
the end of this report. Based on the comments received from other
agencies/departments, the eity Council finds that the public services listed above
can be made available to accommodate the proposed development.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents and tenants will be fire, police,
school facilities and services. The City Council finds there will not be excessive
additional requirements at public cost and this development will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
The most recent traffic count for Chinden Boulevard, taken on January 30, 2003,
was 15,301 ADT, west of Meridian Road. ACHD estimates that this development
will generate 529 additional vehicle trips per day. The City Council recognizes
that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a development on this site;
however, the Council does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public.
The purpose ofthe L-O zone is to "permit the establishment of groupings of
professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical,
stenographic, public service and similar uses.. . shall not involve heavy testing
operations of any kind or product manufacturing of such a nature to create noise,
vibration or emissions of a nature offensive to the overall purpose of this
District." (MCCII-7-2.G) The purpose of the R-15 zone is to penuit the
establishment of medium-high density single-family attached and multi-family
dwellings at a density not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre. The City Council
does not anticipate that annexation and development in accordance with current
city code and the eomprehensive Plan will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes,
glare, or odors.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one entrance into the site from Jericho
Road. The proposed entrance is located approximately 285 feet south of Chinden
Boulevard, and meets ACHD's requirements for location. If the proposed access
and internal driveways are approved and constructed in accordance with ACHD
and the City's policies, the City Council does not believe that the development
will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The City Council finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result
in the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as any existing
trees are protected/mitigated. Any existing trees that the City Arborist deems
necessary for mitigation that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the
Landscape Ordinance (MeC 12-13-13). The City Council is not aware of any
natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
In accordance with the findinf!s listed above the Citv Council finds that the
annexation/zoninf! of this vrODertv as oroposed would not be in the best interest
of the Citv. However the Citv Council finds that the Citv should annex and zone
the 17.02 acres to R-4 as reauested. that the 5.53 acres Drovosed for R-8 zoning
that contain sinrde-familv homes on one-acre lots also be zoned to R-4 R -2' and
that the 6.62 acres DroDosed for R-15 zoninf!" be zoned to zonedL-O for the
western Dortion containimz office uses and R-15 for the eastern vortion
containinf! multi-familv dwellinf!"s. Consistent with the Comvrehensive Plan and
the findinf!s listed above the Citv Council believes that the above-listed zones are
avvroDriate for this DrODertv and zoninf! the vroverties as amended would be in
the best interest of the Citv.

Preliminary Plat Findings
Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the
acceptance of a proposed subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the

Zoning Amendment Findings
According to Meridian eity Code (MeC) 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to
Zoning Amendments, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council are required
"to review the particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in
terms of the following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the
following questions about the proposed zoning amendment."
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by City Council:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
All 29 acres of the subject property are designated for medium density residential
use on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The purpose of this
designation is "to allow smaller lots for residential purposes within city limits.
Uses may include single-family homes at densities of three to eight dwelling units
per acre." (Page 93, Chapter VII, City of Meridian Comprehensive Plan),
The applicant is requesting three different zoning designations for four different
land uses on the subject property. The R-4 zone (Low Density) is requested for
the 17-acre school site. The City Council is supportive of this nroposed R-4
zoning desirnation as schools are principallv permitted in the requested zone and
this zone is consistent with the Future Land Use Map.
The R-8 zone (Medium Density) is requested for the five, one-acre single-family
lots in Westborough Subdivision. While this designation is consistent with the
Future Land Use Map, it is not consistent with the existing land use. The R-8
zone is geared towards developments containing between four and eight dwelling
units per acre and the subject density is approximately one dwelling unit per acre.
The City Council finds that the Citv should zone this Propertv to R-4 R-2 as the
R-4 R-2 zone would more accuratelv correspond to the use of the land as one-acre
residential lots.
The R-15 zone (Medium High Density) is requested for the six office lots and one
multi-family lot (6.62 acres total). The Comprehensive Plan does allow a one step
increase or decrease in residential areas without amending the Comprehensive
Plan. The R-15 district allows for medium-high density single-family attached
and multi-family dwellings at densities not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre
(MCC 11-7-2.E). In addition to the multi-family, the applicant is requesting CUP
approval to construct office buildings within the proposed residential zone (see
CUP-05-027). The applicant states in the submittal letter that the neighborhood
center shown between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road should "float" to
the east because there is not a collector roadway intersecting Chinden at the Y2
mile and the existing uses do not lend themselves to the neighborhood center
concept (see Applicant's letter). The applicant is also being taxed by the County
as if this property had commercial potential. Therefore, a more intense use than
medium density residential is appropIiate here.
Although there is not currently a public street south of Chinden near the Y2 mile
there is a public street on the north side of Chinden Boulevard in Spyglass
Subdivision. This public street is located at approximately the Y2 mile. When the
properties to the south of Spyglass Subdivision develop/redevelop, the City
Council believes that a public collector road could be constructed at the Y2 mile
(and possibly signalized when warrants are met). However, several developments
will utilize Jericho Road and the City Council believes this road will function
similar to a collector road for this area, thus making the subject site part of the
envisioned neighborhood center. Further, this property has frontage on a highway,
which makes a higher intensity use for this property agreeable.
The City Council also recognizes that the location of the neighborhood center
designation on the Future Land Use Map is conceptual. Neighborhood Centers are
anticipated to have: short blocks, less than 300 feet; interconnected circulation
that is convenient for automobiles, pedestrians, and transit; a variety of housing
choices; housing that is arranged in a radiating pattern of lessening densities;
transition between different housing types or densities at alleys; gridded street
patterns; and, public open space. Further, the purpose of a neighborhood center is
to create a centralized, pedestrian oriented, identifiable and day-to-day service
oriented focal point for the neighborhood. The center should offer an internal
circulation system that connects with adjacent neighborhoods or regional
pathways, and they are anticipated to serve as public transit locations for park and
ride lots, bus stops, and other alternative modes of transportation (see Pages 95-
97, Chapter VII ofthe eity of Meridian Comprehensive Plan).
The project does have some internal sidewalks and does propose one sidewalk to
the adjacent school site to the south. Except for the sidewalk along the entry
driveway, no other pedestrian connectivity is proposed between the multi-family
dwellings and the office portion of the development. The lack of accessibility
from the residential portion of the development to the proposed patio/plaza
amenity in the office portion of the development (on the corner of Chinden and
Jericho) turns what could have been an active amenity into a passive one that few
would use. In addition to the amenity not being accessible to the residences within
the project, this amenity has not been offered for use by the public either. Even if
the patio in the office portion of the development counts as one amenity, this
project is lacking a second amenity as defined by MCC. See Special
Consideration #2 in the Conditional Use Permit section of this report.
While the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map does not explicitly support
a commercial zoning of this property, the eity Council finds that there are several
Comprehensive Plan policies that support evaluating this site for a zone not
specifically envisioned by the Map (see below).
"The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for
decisions concerning the physical development of the community. It
indicates, in a general way, how the community may develop in the next
five to ten years." (Chapter I, Section B of the Comprehensive Plan)
Furthermore, in Chapter VII, Section C, "Future Conditions" states the following:
"Figure VII-2 [The Comprehensive Land Use Map J depicts desired future
land use categories and their location within the Impact Area. The areas
depicted on the map are conceptual and, therefore, will require further
analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map."
Because the Comprehensive Plan is a guide when determining land uses, the City
Council believes that this is an instance to "float" the neighborhood center to this
site. There are five large one-acre lots to the south, a school to the southeast, a
church directly to the east, and the properties to the west have yet to develop. If
the non-residential aspect of the neighborhood center is moved away from the 1;2
mile, no significant negative impacts are envisioned for the adjacent properties in
the mile between Locust Grove Road and Meridian Road. At the public hearing,
some of the I-acre property owners to the south testified that they would not be
agreeable to R-15 zoning/multi-family uses directly to their north.
The City Council believes that a step UP in zoninl! density to R-15 for multi-
family uses on the east side of this prouerty is iustified. The Citv Council also
believes that non-residential uses (office) in an area planned for residential uses
is aporopriate in this instance (as a use exception for the development). To more
accuratelv correlate the use of the land to the zoninl! of the land the City Council
believes that the Citv should zone the office/western portion of this oropertv to L-
Q. The City eouncil further finds that the R-15 and L-O zone and concurrent
development applications generally comply with a majority of the policies, goals,
objectives, and concepts contained within the eomprehensive Plan.
The Commission also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies
to be applicable to this application (analysis is in italics below policy):
· "Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all
public services" (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action items 1 and 4)
On May 13, 2005, ajoint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. In that meeting no
deficiencies of public services to serve this property were raised.
· "Consider "Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel: A Recommended
Approach" fl.-om the National Center for Bicycling and Walking in all land use
decisions." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #3)
This publication encourages jurisdictions to establish bikeway and walkway
facilities in new construction and reconstruction projects, in a manner that is
safe, accessible and convenient.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets."
(ehapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 2)
The applicant is only proposing one access point into the development from
Jericho Road, a local street. No access to Chinden Boulevard (SH 20-26) is
proposed. The City Council is supportive of the proposed access to the
property.
· "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors
(setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective
D, Action item 4)
The applicant is proposing to construct a 35-foot wide landscape berm along
Chin den Boulevard and a 20-foot wide landscape berm along Jericho Road.
The City Council is supportive of these widths (see Preliminary Plat
conditions for fitrther details).
· "Require new residential development to meet development standards
regarding landscaping, signage, fences and walls, etc." (Chapter VII, Goal I,
Objective C, Action item 4)
The applicant has not depicted appropriate landscape buffers between the
multi-family dwellings and the school site to the south (20-feet required),
between the multi-family dwellings and the church to the east (20-feet
required), or between the proposed office and the multi-family dwellings (20-
feet required).
· "Require useable open space to be incorporated into new residential
subdivision plats." (ehapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action item 3)
Open space may be active or passive in its intended use, and must be
accessible by all residents of the subdivision (MCC 12-1316-3). The applicant
does state that 37% of the multi.Jamilyloffice area (approximately 2 acres) is
planned for landscaping. The applicant should provide useable open space in
accordance with Meridian City Code.
· "Require pedestrian access in all new development to link subdivisions
together and promote neighborhood connectivity." (ehapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective C, Action item 6)
The applicant is proposing a sidewalk connection to the south; no connection
to the east is proposed.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials or collectors near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential
areas." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #5)
The subject property has frontage on Chinden Boulevard, an arterial
roadway. The City Council believes that the proposed commercial office
complements the adjoining residential area.
· "Locate high-density development, where possible, near open space corridors
or other pennanent major open space and park facilities, Old Town, and near
major access thoroughfares." (Chapter VII, Goal V, Objective A, Action item
14)
There are currently no permanent major open space or park facilities near
this site, There is a charter school and associated open spaces with the school
use, This higher-density development is located adjacent to Chinden
Boulevard, a major thoroughfare.
· "Actively involve Joint School District No.2 in subdivision site selection with
developer before plat processing (pre-platting schedule meetings)." (Chapter
VI, Goal VI, Objective B, Action item 1)
A 17-acre school site is included within the subject annexation application.
· "Consider development applications that apply the neighborhood center
concept." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action item 1)
The subject applications generally apply the neighborhood center concept
outlined on pages 95 -97 of the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant has listed some Comprehensive Plan policies that support the
annexation and proposed use of the property (see Applicant's letter dated
February 15, 2005).
For the reasons listed above the Citv Council finds that annexinf! and zoninf! as
well as the desif!n of the vroDosed vlat and conditional use vermit are in f!eneral
conformance with the Citv of Meridian Comvrehensive Plan.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be rezoned in the
future;
If the conCUlTent preliminary plat and conditional use penuit applications are
approved, the City eouncil does not believe that the applicant intends to rezone
the property in the future.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning -for example, a
residential area turning into a commercial area by means of conditional use
permits;
The five existing single-family homes in Westborough Subdivision are allowed in
both the requested R-8 zone and R-4 zone without a CUP. The 17-acre school site
is allowed in the requested R-4 zone without a CUP. The City Council recognizes
that approximately 6 acres of the area included in the proposed zoning
amendment is intended to be developed in a fashion not allowed (principally
permitted) under the proposed zoning. Both the proposed office uses and multi-
family uses require conditional use permits in the requested R-15 zone (medium
high density). However, if the western portion of the 6 acres is zoned L-O, the
office area could be developed in a fashion allowed (principally permitted) under
the new zoning. The City does not currently have a zone that principally permits
apartments. Therefore, the eastern portion of the site, proposed for multi-family,
requires conditional use permit approval.
n. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets been widened, new
railroad access been developed or planned or adjacent area being developed
in a fashion similar to the proposed rezone area;
There have been no recent street improvements in the area. Chinden Boulevard is
not in the current STIP and Locust Grove Road is not currently scheduled within
ACHD's Five Year Work Program or Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for
roadway widening.
Permanent sanitary sewer to this proposed development shall be provided via the
North Slough Trunk, which is currently under construction, however laterals that
will provide service will be through future phases of the Saguaro Canyon
Subdivision.
The City Council finds that a substantial portion of the land to the south has been
developed, or approved for development. However, the City has not approved any
multi-family and/or office uses in this area. Arcadia Subdivision, Tustin
Subdivision and Saguaro Canyon Subdivision, all contained single-family
dwelling units. The City Council believes that the proposed development wiII be
compatible with and is similar to the adjacent area.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
The eity Council believes that this development will set the tone for how the rest
of the area along Chinden develops. The applicant has submitted elevations for
the proposed office and multi-family dwellings. The City Council is supportive of
the elevations for the multi-family and office buildings as they should be
hannonious with the existing and intended character of the area. The existing
character of the area will, and is, currently changing. However, the City Council
finds that if this site is developed as proposed, the zoning and subsequent uses
will be harmonious and appropriate to the intended character of the vicinity (see
Finding "A").
F. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighboring uses;
Due to other existing and proposed uses near the site, the City Council does not
anticipate that the zoning and proposed uses will be physically hazardous to future
or existing uses or neighbors in the area. The Council should rely on the analysis,
comments from other agencies, and public testimony to detenuine whether the
proposed use will be disturbing or hazardous to the existing neighboring uses and
future expected uses in this vicinity.
G. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and services
such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the
establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to provide
adequately any of such services;
Sewer service for this development is being proposed via the existing "private lift
station" constructed for the five previously approved lots to the south. When
public works reviewed and accepted the plans for this lift station, Public Works
staff was approving it for only the five lots that were proposed at the time,
Arcadia to the west, and the five-acre commercial property to the north.
Engineering staff has reservations on the ability ofthis lift-station to service the
extra volume of sewage generated by the four-plexes that are now a part of this
development. In preliminary discussions the applicant and a staff engineer at the
City of Meridian have come to an agreement that the commercial portion of this
proposed development could be allowed with the stipulation that a flow meter be
installed to measure the true amount of sewage being "lifted". This would give
accurate infonnation on influent flows to allow for a more informed opinion on
the sewerabiIty of the remainder of the project.
Water mains are readily accessible to this site and service is being proposed via an
extension of water mains located in Jericho and Locust Grove. The applicant will
be required to construct water mains to and through this proposed development.
Coordinate size and routing with Public Works.
The applicant and/or future propeliy owners will be required to pay park and
highway impact fees as well as construct on-site stonn water drainage facilities.
This item was approved at the stafflevel at ACHD on May 10,2005. The
applicant is being required to construct Jericho Road as one half of a 40 foot street
section. Please review any additional COlmnents that may be sent from ACHD
between the print deadline and the hearing.
On May 13, 2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Several comments were
received from multiple departments. The detailed comments and conditions from
the Fire Department, Police Department, and other agencies/departments are at
the end of this report. Based on the comments received from other
agencies/departments, the City Council finds that the public services listed above
can be made available to accommodate the proposed development.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
If approved, the developer will be financing the extension of sewer, water, public
street infrastructure, utilities and irrigation services to serve the project. The
primary public costs to serve the future residents and tenants will be fire, police,
school facilities and services. The City Council finds there will not be excessive
additional requirements at public cost and this development will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
I. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes, materials,
equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
The most recent traffic count for Chinden Boulevard, taken on January 30,2003,
was 15,301 ADT, west of Meridian Road. ACHD estimates that this development
will generate 529 additional vehicle trips per day. The City Council recognizes
that traffic and noise will increase with the approval of a development on this site;
however, the eouncil does not believe that the amount generated will be
detrimental to the general welfare of the public.
The purpose of the L-O zone is to "permit the establishment of groupings of
professional, research, executive, administrative, accounting, clerical,
stenographic, public service and similar uses.. . shall not involve heavy testing
operations of any kind or product manufactuling of such a nature to create noise,
vibration or emissions of a nature offensive to the overall purpose of this
District." (MCell-7-2.G) The purpose of the R-15 zone is to pennit the
establishment of medium-high density single-family attached and multi-family
dwellings at a density not exceeding 15 dwelling units per acre. The City Council
does not anticipate that annexation and development in accordance with current
city code and the Comprehensive Plan will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes,
glare, or odors.
J. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to construct one entrance into the site from Jericho
Road. The proposed entrance is located approximately 285 feet south of ehinden
Boulevard, and meets ACHD's requirements for location. If the proposed access
and internal driveways are approved and constructed in accordance with ACHD
and the City's policies, the City Council does not believe that the development
will create interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance; and
The City eouncil finds that the proposed annexation and zoning should not result
in the loss or damage of any natural or scenic features, as long as any existing
trees are protected/mitigated. Any existing trees that the City Arborist deems
necessary for mitigation that are removed shall be mitigated for, per the
Landscape Ordinance (MCC 12-13-13). The City Council is not aware of any
natural or scenic feature(s) that would be lost, damaged or destroyed by allowing
this site to be annexed, zoned and developed.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City of
Meridian. (Ord. 592, 11-17-1992)?
In accordance with the findin'i!s listed above the Citv Council finds that the
annexation/zonin'i! of this DrOlJertv as orooosed would not be in the best interest
of the Citv. However the Citv Council finds that the Citv should annex and zone
the 17.02 acres to R-4 as reauested. that the 5.53 acres vrODosed for R-8 zoninf!
that contain sinf!le-familv homes on one-acre lots also be zoned to R-4 R-2' and
that the 6.62 acres DrolJosed for R -15 zonin'i! be zoned to zoned L-Q for the
western vortion containin'i! office uses and R-15 for the eastern Dortion
containin'i! multi-familv dwellinf!s. Consistent with the ComDrehensive Plan and
the findinf!s listed above the Citv Council believes that the above-listed zones are
aVDroDriate for this DrOlJertv and zoninf! the DrODerties as amended would be in
the best interest of the Citv.

Memo
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Hawkins-Clark ~\\L
cc: Anna Canning
Date: August 9, 2005
Re: Request for Waiver of Fence Waiver Application - Ryan Warwick
Attached is a request from Ryan Warwick for a waiver of the $50.00 application fee
for a Fence Waiver Application. The application pertains to a side yard fence at
2642 N. Lapis Avenue in Packard Acres Subdivision NO.2. The Zoning Ordinance
does not grant the Zoning Administrator the authority to waive application fees; only
City Council has this ability.
The application was submitted to the P&Z Department at the request of the Code
Enforcement Office in the Police Department. Joe Venneman, Code Enforcement
Officer, responded to a complaint about the fence, located near the northwest comer
of Wingate Lane and E. Challis Street. He found the 6-foot solid fence was
constructed approximately 1 % feet into the required 20-foot fence setback. The
fence was constructed with a valid permit and was inspected and approved by the
Building Department in October 2004. Mr. Warwick purchased the property after the
fence was constructed and was not aware of any violations. Since Mr. Warwick is
submitting the Fence Waiver Application at the request of the City and the fence
construction was approved by the Building Department, staff beHeves the fee waiver
is justified.

Re: Champion Park Subdivision No.4 (Final Plat)
FP-05-053
Dear Mayor and Council:
We have reviewed staff comments for the hearing date of August 16, 2005, and have the
following responses.
SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The applicant will meet all terms of the approved Preliminary PIal (PP-02-033), Plamlee!
Development (CUP-02-049), and Development Agreement (Instrument No. 103085229).
2. The applicant disagrees with the Director's determination that the property needs
to be rezoned. The preliminary plat was approved in the same configuration as the
final plat. This project is not similar to Verona Subdivision No.3, which was
rezoned only because lots were added. City ordinance does not require rezoning of
this property; as stated by staff, the conditional use permit was approved to allow a
20% land use exception, and the C"mal plat complies with the approved preliminary
plat.
The applicant is rethinking his options and may, in fact, come back with a
residential plan for the ntini-storage lot, leaving the two office lots closest to Ustick
Road. The applicant is opposed to rezoning the property when the uses have
already been approved via the planned development application. We do not want to
have the final plat tied to a requirement to rezone the property and respectfully
request that this condition be deleted.
3. The applicant will comply.
4. The applicant will comply.

Conditional Use Permit Findings
ST ANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of
each proposed conditional use in terms of the following, and may approve a
conditional use permit if they shall fmd evidence presented at the hearing(s) is
adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards,
open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by
this ordinance;
The existing church sits on approximately four acres. The total square footage of
the church is approximately 30,000 square feet. The school is proposing to lease
approximately 17,096 square-feet for the school. This area will allow one
classroom for each grade level, from Kindergarten to ih grade. A majority ofthe
classrooms will be within the main (north) church building. The gymnasium,
multi-purpose room, kitchen and a couple of additional classrooms will be used in
the southern building. The existing buildings on this site comply with the setback
(yard) requirements of the L-O zone. Meridian City Code does not require any
open space for schools.
Driveways, parking areas and landscaping improvements were recently made to
this site. There are two vehicular access points to this site to Cherry Lane that
serve 246 parking stalls. Meridian City Code requires two parking spaces for each
classroom for the elementary, intennediate and junior high classrooms. One space
is required for every ten children, plus one per staff member for the kindergarten
class. The site has adequate parking for the proposed school use. Because the
school will operate at different times than the church, City Council does not
believe that patrons of either the church or the school will be displaced.
Meridian City Code requires a 25-foot wide landscape buffer along Cherry Lane.
There is currently a 30-foot wide (varies) landscape buffer adjacent to Cherry
Lane.
The Applicant is working with the Fire Marshall to bring the fire alarm system
and other building code inadequacies up to current code. The only design standard
that the proposed use does not meet is the lack of a buffer adjacent to the
residential uses to the east and south. According to MCC 12-13-12-4,
ElementarylMiddle Schools are a more intense use (Class II) than single-family
residences (Class I). By code, a 20-foot wide landscape buffer is required between
the two uses. There is a 20-foot wide landscape buffer and pathway on the east
property line, but there is only a fence and minimal landscaping along the south
and west property lines. Because landscaping was previously reviewed and
approved for this site in 2002 and the proposed use is anticipated to last for only
for one school year, City Council does not believe that additional landscape
buffers should be required.
City Council finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the
required yards (setbacks), open spaces, parking, and other features required by the
ordinance. The Council should determine if additional play areas are needed.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the
Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of
this Ordinance;
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as
"Public/Quasi-Public". Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan defines Public,
Quasi-Public and Open Space as areas designated to preserve and protect existing
private, municipal, state, and federal land for area residents and visitors. These
areas include neighborhood, community, and urban parks. Govenunent facilities,
public and private schools, health care facilities, churches, utilities, park and
recreational areas, and cemeteries are also considered public/quasi-public type
uses. City Council finds that the proposed school use is hannonious with the
public/quasi-public designation on the Future Land Use Map.
MCC 11-8-1, Schedule of Use Control, allows for public schools through the
conditional use process in the L-O zone. City Council finds that the requested
public charter school is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and that if
approved as a CUP the project will be in compliance with Meridian City
Ordinances.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible
with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or
intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely
change the essential character of the same area;
The design and construction on this site has been previously reviewed and
approved by the City. City Council finds that if the applicant complies with the
conditions of the previous RZ-02-003 and CUP-02-027 and the conditions
outlined in this report, then the operation and maintenance of a school should be
compatible with other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing and
intended character of the area.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval
imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
City Council finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions outlined in
this report, the proposed school use wi11 not adversely affect other property in the
area. The Council should rely upon any public testimony provided to detennine if
the development will adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities
and services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for
the establishment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide
adequately any such services;
Sanitary sewer and water are currently provided to the subject site.
The Ada County Highway District previously acted on RZ-02-003 and CUP-02-
027. The conditions, requirements and restrictions included with RZ-02-003 and
CUP-02-027 also apply to CUP-05-032.
On June 17,2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property. Based on the joint
agency/department meeting and other comments received from other
agenciesldepartments, City Council finds that the public services listed above can
be made available to acconnnodate the proposed use. NOTE: The Meridian Fire
Department did a walk-through on this site and found a few deficiencies with
operating a school out of the existing buildings. The applicant wil1need to comply
with any modificationslupgrades required by the Meridian Fire Department. The
Council should reference any written andlor verbal testimony submitted by any
public service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
On June 21, 2005, the City Council approved the temporary use of the site for the
proposed school. As part of that approval, the Council required the subject school
site to obtain approval from the State Division of Building Safety prior to
occupancy. City Council has included this condition from the previous
Miscellaneous application within the subject CUP application (see Site Specific
Condition # 7). Please note that although Council has approved the temporary use
of the site, the record is clear that such approval did not guarantee approval of the
subject conditional use permit.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at
public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
If approved, the applicant will be financing any improvements required for
development. Because the subject application is for a public school, any
improvements that are required will ultimately be funded by the public. However,
City Council finds there are not any excessive requirements and this use will not
require substantial public funds. City Council further believes that the proposed
use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials,
equipment, and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any
persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of
traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
City Council recognizes that traffic and noise will increase during the weekdays
with the approval of a school in this location; however, City Council does not
believe that the amount generated will be detrimental to the general welfare of the
public. City Council does not anticipate the proposed use will create excessive
noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. City Council finds that the proposed public
school use will not be detrimental to people, property or the general welfare of the
area. The Council should rely on any and all public testimony when detennining
if the activities on this site may be detrimental to nearby persons, property, or
general welfare.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which
shall be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public streets;
The applicant is proposing to utilize two existing driveways off of Cherry Lane.
ACHD considers vehicular approaches in their analysis ofprojects and has
previously approved the driveway locations to this site. City Council does not
believe that the proposed vehicular approaches will interfere with the traffic on
the public streets.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a
natural, scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
City Council is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on
this site and finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be
lost or damaged by approving the subject Conditional Use Permit application.
Any existing trees larger than 4" caliper that are removed, that the City Arborist
deems necessary for mitigation, shall be mitigated for.

Re: COMPASS Public Charter School CUP
· Request for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Approval to Operate a Public
Charter School out of an Existing Church in the L-O zone, by Compass
Public Charter School. (CUP-05-032)
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments and conditions of the
applicant. These conditions shall be considered infitll, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Compass Public Charter School, has requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
approval to operate a public charter school out of an existing church. The property is located on
the south side of Cherry Lane, approximately 1h mile west of Linder Road. The address of the
property is 2511 W. Cherry Lane. The property is currently zoned L-O (Limited Office).
In 2002 the City approved a rezone of this property from R-4 to L-O (RZ-02-003). Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) approval was also granted in 2002 to operate a preschool/private school out of
the existing church (CUP-02-027). Title 11, Chapter 8 of Meridian City Code (MCC), Schedule of
Use Control, requires all public schools in the L-O zone to obtain CUP approval. Further, a condition
of CUP-02-027 was that CUP approval had to be granted prior to enrollment of kindergarten age
students or older on this site. In compliance with MCC 11-8-1 and the conditions of CUP-02-027,
the applicant has submitted a CUP application for the subject school use (CUP-05-032). NOTE:
Because the school year starts in August and the CUP process usually takes about 4 months to
complete, the applicant has previously been granted approval by the Council to operate a charter
school on this site for one year (see MI-05-005).
The lease area for the school is approximately 17,096 square-feet and includes classrooms,
bathrooms, a gymnasium, and a multi-purpose room on the south end of the site. The anticipated
enrollment is 240 students ranging from Kindergarten to 7th grade.
Staff is recommending approval of the application with the conditions included herein.

STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following, and may approve a conditional use
permit ifthey shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-
3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this
ordinance;
The existing church sits on approximately four acres. The total square footage of the
church is approximately 30,000 square feet. The school is proposing to lease
approximately 17,096 square-feet for the schooL This area will allow one classroom for
each grade level, from Kindergarten to 7th grade. A majority of the classrooms will be
within the main (north) church building. The gymnasium, multi-purpose room, kitchen and
a couple of additional classrooms will be used in the southern building. The existing
buildings on this site comply with the setback (yard) requirements of the L-O zone.
Meridian City Code does not require any open space for schools.
Driveways, parking areas and landscaping improvements were recently made to this site.
There are two vehicular access points to this site to Cherry Lane that serve 246 parking
stalls. Meridian City Code requires two parking spaces for each classroom for the
elementary, intermediate and junior high classrooms. One space is required for every ten
children, plus one per staff member for the kindergarten class. The site has adequate
parking for the proposed school use. Because the school will operate at different times than
the church, staff does not believe that patrons of either the church or the school will be
displaced.
Meridian City Code requires a 25-foot wide landscape buffer along Cherry Lane. There is

currently a 30-foot wide (varies) landscape buffer adjacent to Cherry Lane.
The Applicant is working with the Fire Marshall to bring the fire alarm system and other
building code inadequacies up to current code. The only design standard that the proposed
use does not meet is the lack of a buffer adjacent to the residential uses to the east and
south. According to MCC 12-13-12-4, Elementary/Middle Schools are a more intense use
(Class II) than single-family residences (Class I). By code, a 20-foot wide landscape buffer
is required between the two uses. There is a 20-foot wide landscape buffer and pathway on
the east property line, but there is only a fence and minimal landscaping along the south
and west property lines. Because landscaping was previously reviewed and approved for
this site in 2002 and the proposed use is anticipated to last for only for one school year,
staff does not believe that additional landscape buffers should be required. See Special
Consideration #1 below.
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required yards
(setbacks), open spaces, parking, and other features required by the ordinance. The
Commission and Council should determine if additional landscape buffers and/or
screening should be required along the south andlor west property lines. Although
Meridian City Code does not require play areas for schools, staff is concerned that there
may be insufficient play area for the children other than the parking lot areas. The
Commission and Council should determine if additional play areas are needed.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as "Public/Quasi-
Public". Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan defines Public, Quasi-Public and Open
Space as areas designated to preserve and protect existing private, municipal, state, and
federal land for area residents and visitors. Theses areas include neighborhood, community,
and urban parks. Government facilities, public and private schools, health care facilities,
churches, utilities, park and recreational areas, and cemeteries are also considered
public/quasi-public type uses. Staff finds that the proposed school use is harmonious with the
public/quasi-public designation on the Future Land Use Map.
MCC 11-8-1, Schedule of Use Control, allows for public schools through the conditional
use process in the L-O zone. Staff finds that the requested public charter school is in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and that if approved as a CUP the project will
be in compliance with Meridian City Ordinances.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance will be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character
of the general vicinity and that such use will not adversely change the essential
character of the same area;

The design and construction on this site has been previously reviewed and approved by
the City. Staff finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions of the previous RZ-
02-003 and CUP-02-027 and the conditions outlined in this report, then the operation and
maintenance of a school should be compatible with other uses in the general
neighborhood and with the existing and intended character of the area.
D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed,
will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
Staff finds that if the applicant complies with the conditions outlined in this report, the
proposed school use will not adversely affect other property in the area. The Commission and
Council should rely upon any public testimony provided to determine if the development will
adversely affect other property in the vicinity.
E. That the proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures,
refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
Sanitary sewer and water are currently provided to the subject site.
The Ada County Highway District previously acted on RZ-02-003 and CUP-02-027. The
conditions, requirements and restrictions included with RZ-02-003 and CUP-02-027 also
apply to CUP-05-032.
On June 17,2005, a joint agency/department comments meeting was held with
representatives of key service providers to this property (see end of staff report for
comments). Based on the joint agency/department meeting and other comments received
from other agencies/departments, staff finds that the public services listed above can be
made available to accommodate the proposed use. NOTE: The Meridian Fire Department
did a walk-through on this site and found a few deficiencies with operating a school out
of the existing buildings. The applicant will need to comply with any
modifications/upgrades required by the Meridian Fire Department. The Commission and
Council should reference any written andlor verbal testimony submitted by any public
service provider, regarding their ability to adequately service this project.
On June 21, 2005, the City Council approved the temporary use of the site for the
proposed school. As part of that approval, the Council required the subject school site to
obtain approval from the State Division of Building Safety prior to occupancy. Staffhas
included this condition from previous Miscellaneous application within the subject CUP
application (see Site Specific Condition # 7). Please note that although Council has
approved the temporary use of the site, the record is clear that such approval did not

guarantee approval of the conditional use pennit.
F. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public
cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic
welfare of the community;
If approved, the applicant will be financing any improvements required for development.
Because the subject application is for a public school, any improvements that are required
will ultimately be funded by the public. However, staff finds there are not any excessive
requirements and this use will not require substantial public funds. Stafffurtherbelieves
that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the community's economic welfare.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment,
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff recognizes that traffic and noise will increase during the weekdays with the approval
of a school in this location; however, staff does not believe that the amount generated will
be detrimental to the general welfare of the public. Staff does not anticipate the proposed
use will create excessive noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors (see Special Consideration
#1). Staff finds that the proposed public school use will not be detrimental to people,
property or the general welfare of the area. Staff recommends that the Commission and
Council rely on any and all public testimony when determining ifthe activities on this site
may be detrimental to nearby persons, property, or general welfare.
H. That the proposed use will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall he
so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public
streets;
The applicant is proposing to utilize two existing driveways off of Cherry Lane. ACHD
considers vehicular approaches in their analysis of projects and has previously approved
the driveway locations to this site. Staff does not believe that the proposed vehicular
approaches will interfere with the traffic on the public streets.
I. That the proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic feature considered to be of major importance.
Staff is unaware of any natural of scenic features of major importance on this site and
finds that no natural or scenic features of major importance will be lost or damaged by
approving the subject Conditional Use Permit application. Any existing trees larger than
4" caliper that are removed, that the City Arborist deems necessary for mitigation, shall
be mitigated for.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Noise: The applicant has told staff that the school will hold recess on the south side of the
property. This area is largely paved and does not include a large buffer area adjacent to
the single-family homes. According to MCC 12-13-12-4, Elementary/Middle Schools are
a more intense use (Class II) than single-family residences (Class I). By code, a 20-foot
wide landscape buffer is required between the two uses. There is a 20-foot wide
landscape buffer and pathway on the east property line, but there is only a fence and
minimal landscaping along the south and west property lines. There are gates that can be
closed on the driveways during recess, but this does not account for the noise. Staff does
not believe that the temporary operation of a charter school should produce excessive
noise and that the existing landscaping and fencing should provide an adequate buffer for
the proposed school. Further, the installation of landscaping this year will not provide
much of a sound barrier for the adjacent properties. It will take several years for the
landscaping to mature and provide an effective buffer. Staff recognizes that outdoor
recess may produce louder noises than neighbors are used to hearing. Therefore, staff
reconunends that the Commission and Citv Council detennine if the ooeration of a
charter school will Droduce excessive noise and if additional buffering or restrictions are
necessarv to reduce noise levels. See Site Soecific Conditions #3 and #8 below.
SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL (CUP)
1. All applicable conditions of the previously approved Conditional Use Permit, CUP-02-
037, and Rezone, RZ-02-003, and MI-05-005 shall also be considered conditions of the

Required Findings
ANNEXATION & ZONING ANALYSIS
According to Ordinance 11-15-11, General Standards Applicable to Zoning
Amendments, both the P&Z Commission and Council are required "to review the
particular facts and circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the
following standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following questions
about the proposed zoning amendment. H
The following is the list of standards found in 11-15-11 and analysis by staff:
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment;
The subject property is designated as "Public/Quasi Public" on the Future
Land Use Map. City Council finds that the requested zoning designation,
R-4, is appropriate for a public school use and therefore is harmonious
with and in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and Future
Land Use Map. The proposed use as a high school is a permitted use in
the R-4 Zone, per the Zoning Schedule of Use Control in MCC 11-8-1.
B. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may
dictate that the area should be rezoned. For example, have the streets
been widened, new railroad access been developed or planned or
adjacent area being developed in a fashion similar to the proposed
rezone area;
Surrounding properties include vacant rural properties, a church, and the
existing high school campus. The subject is parcel is "landlocked" with
no frontage or access on a public street. The land to the east has been
developed as the existing high school campus and the inclusion of the
subject parcel in that development is a reasonable expansion of the school
property. The School District also owns a larger parcel immediately to the
north of the subject property, which is planned for another future
expansion of the campus, making the Current proposal harmonious with
the future character of the area. City Council finds that the requested
zoning designation of R-4 for a high school will be harmonious with the
existing and future developments.
C. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and
maintained to he harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the
existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use
will not change the essential character of the same area;
City Council finds that the proposed use (high school) will not change the
existing or intended character of the area. See discussion under "B"
above.
D. Will the proposed uses not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or
future neighboring uses;
City Council finds that the proposed uses will not be hazardous or
disturbing to future or existing neighbors. See discussion under "B"
above.
E. Will the area be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage
structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible
for the establishment of proposed zoning amendment shall be able to
provide adequately any of such services;
City Council finds that the property to be annexed will be served
adequately by all essential public facilities and services.
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the
economic welfare of the community;
City Council finds that there will not be excessive additional requirements
at public cost and that the annexation and zoning will not be detrimental to
the community's economic welfare.
G. Will the proposed uses not involve uses, activities, processes,
materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be
detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason
of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
City Council does not anticipate that the proposed additions to the high
school campus will create additional traffic in the general area. The
existing high school has created traffic and this addition will not increase
the volume of that traffic. City Council also finds that the proposed high
school campus addition will not create excessive noise or other nuisances
that would be detrimental to the general welfare of the surrounding area.
H. Will the area have vehicular approaches to the property which shall
be so designed as not to create an interference with traffic on
surrounding public streets;
The subject parcel does not have frontage on, or access to, any public
street. The inclusion of the parcel in the high school campus is the only
reasonable development of the property and will not create interference

Required Findings for Zoning Amendment
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and
circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following
standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following
questions about the proposed zoning amendment (11-15-11):
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive plan amendment;
This property is designated "Mixed Use - Regional" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. The Mixed Use comprehensive plan designations provides
for a combination of compatible land uses that are typically developed under a
master or conceptual plan. All development within this designation will occur
only under the Conditional Use Permit process, except the Mixed Use-Regional
(see below). Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for
the entire mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or,
depending on the scope of the development, prior to a formal development
application being submitted.
The following standards will apply to this category:
No upper limit of non-residential use.s Over 200,000 sq. ft. of non-residential
building area; CUP application would not be needed unless a project lies within
300 feet of an existing residence or school or CUP is otherwise required per
ordinance; Residential density of 3 to 40 units/acre. Sample uses include: All
MU-N and MU-C categories, entertainment uses, major employment centers,
clean industry.
Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-7-2.1. states the purpose of the C-G district is "to
provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto
and service oriented and are located in close proximity to major highway or
arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as retail sales
for the transient and pennanent motoring public." The following Comprehensive
Plan policies also SUDDort the annexation and proposed retail/fuel service use:
· "Permit new. . . commercial developments only where urban
services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26,
Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Porky Park Subdivision
Exhibit C
Sanitary sewer, municipal water, solid waste and other services
exist to this area of Meridian.
· "Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in internal
islands." (Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The Site Plan submitted with the CUP application for this
property shall show internal planters, as required.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The proposed commercial uses are located closest to the
intersection of a minor arterial roadway and a state highway.
A 25-foot wide street buffer is shown along Pine Ave and a 35-
foot wide street buffer is shown along Eagle Road SH55,
designed in part to mitigate potential negative impacts upon
the vehicular traffic on Eagle Road.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial
streets." (Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2)
Access to Pine Ave, including right-in/right-out and shared
accesses allowing travel towards the west/Eagle Road are
subject to the conditions of ACHD. A cross access agreement
within the properties at the future property boundaries will be
required so the cuts can be shared with adjacent development.
In addition, access to Eagle Road is prohibited in compliance
with lTD.
Staff finds that the requested General Commercial (C-G) zoning designation is in
accord with the Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Map, and the Mixed
Use-Regional designation.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the
future;
Staff finds that the proposed rezone and accompanying development plans
comply with the requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will
be rezoned in the future. The properties requesting commercial zoning meet the
requirements of a commercial/retail comprehensive designation and are adjacent
to an existing commercial development to the north. The industrial use
development east of the commercial phase is consistent with the development of
warehousing and wholesale production and sales which are located to the south of
the property. A Master or Concept plan for the 27.59 acres has been submitted
consistent with the development agreement for the rezone of the Jacksons Food
store (RZ-05-004) to address the future of rezoning on the subject property.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for the
mixed uses on the property. Staff further finds that the convenience store use,
proposed hotel, and proposed light industrial businesses are allowed within the
appropriate zoning designations in this mixed use area.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned;
Staff finds that the immediate vicinity is a mix of undeveloped parcels that are
designated for a mix of uses in the future, existing urban density residential uses
(Meridian Crossroads), and property annexed and zoned as commercial and
industrial property. The southwest corner of Eagle and Pine (approx. 62 acres)
was annexed and zoned C-G (General Commercial) in February 2005 as part of
the Ten Mile Development planned development. Immediately south of the parcel
is an industrial subdivision with warehousing/sales/various industrial uses. The
widening of Pine A venue to five lanes, the construction of the middle School east
of the site, the signalization of the intersection, and the Eagle/I-84 on ramp are all
indicators of a need for a mix of commercial services in the area. The proposal is
consistent with adjacent uses in the City of Meridian and to the east in the City of
Boise.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be
harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing neighborhood.
The approved retail/fuel service/auto washing facilities on proposed Lot 1, Block
1 are listed uses in harmony with the intended uses in the C-G district and
received approval on May. The eastern edge of the proposed Jacksons Food Store
development (Pine Ave western entrance driveway) is approximately 207 feet east
of the 2-acre site, requiring a cross access agreement to be entered into. The
application does not indicate potential future uses on the eastern remainder of the
27.59 acre parceL However, any future use will be consistent with the existing
zoning or only allowed through a public hearing/CUP or platting process in
compliance with the Future Land Use Map. The landscaped street buffers,
lighting standards and building setbacks as required by the Zoning Ordinance are
intended to ease impacts of these commercial and industrial uses on nearby
residences.
F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
4
Staff finds that the requested annexation and zoning to C-G should not be
disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. Any future change of use on the
property that may have a significant impact on the surrounding properties will
require conditional use approval under current ordinances, and adjoining property
owners will have an opportunity to comment.
Staff anticipates that the proposed commercial use will not be hazardous or
disturbing to the neighboring uses as long as lighting and noise ordinances are
adhered to. The Commission and Council should consider all public testimony,
oral and written, before making this finding.
G. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse
disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such
service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public
services and facilities. Drainage will need to be retained on site.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional
requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff
finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community.
I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed C-G zoning of the property does not inherently allow
uses that will generate activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions
that are detrimental to the general welfare of the community. Permitted uses in the
C-G zone include gas stations facilities, banks, professional offices, clinics, dry
cleaning, hotels, restaurants and retail stores. However, as noted above, all future
uses will require a mix of use applications consistent with the Future Land Use
Map. Future uses and/or platting will allow for public testimony and site specific
conditions, if necessary, to mitigate uses that may be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfare.
J. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as
not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
The accompanying Preliminary Plat application shows vehicular access to the
property via existing curb cuts that have been authorized by ACHD. The property
owner negotiated the locations and design of these ingress/egress points to Pine
Ave with ACHD and access points may change slightly through the platting. To
help prevent interference with westbound Pine Ave traffic and southbound Eagle
Road traffic, left tums are prohibited out of the site, unless at the designated
access.
The applicant has shown a public roadway connection from the south border of
the project to connect Commerce Street with Pine Avenue. Staff supports this

Required Findings for Preliminary Plat
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUIREMENTS
Sections 12-3 - 3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In detennining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the ConunissionlCouncil shall consider the objectives of this title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance of the subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds that the current zoning designation is in general compliance with the effective
Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be
"Mixed Use Regional."
Generally, the Mixed Use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land uses
that are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan. Sample uses are listed as
entertainment, clean industry, and major employers. The uses of Office/Retail closest to
Eagle Road are similar to the sample uses listed on Page 98 Chapter VII of the Meridian City
Comprehensive Plan. The uses of warehouse and wholesaling on the remaining lots are also
consistent with the underlying zoning designation and mixes of uses.
The proposed retail uses within the subdivision are pennissible in the requested zones of the
MCC (11-8-1.) Therefore, Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and will not require further conditional approval if developed as
presented.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at public
cost. The property has existing sewer and water stubs served adequately by all essential
public facilities and services in Pine Avenue. The applicant shall be required to extend water
and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them
available to the adjacent properties.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Staff finds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan. Because
the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, the subdivision will not
require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Porky Park Subdivision
Exhibit D
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. See item b.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site.

Required Findings for Zoning Amendment
STANDARDS FOR ZONING AMENDMENT
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and
circumstances of each proposed zoning amendment in terms of the following
standards and shall find adequate evidence answering the following
questions about the proposed zoning amendment (11-15-11):
A. Will the new zoning be harmonious with and in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan and, if not, has there been an application for a
Comprehensive plan amendment;
This property is designated "Mixed Use - Regional" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. The Mixed Use comprehensive plan designations provides
for a combination of compatible land uses that are typically developed under a
master or conceptual plan. All development within this designation will occur
only under the Conditional Use Permit process, except the Mixed Use-Regional
(see below). Where mixed use developments are phased, a conceptual site plan for
the entire mixed use area is encouraged with the development application or,
depending on the scope of the development, prior to a formal development
application being submitted.
The following standards will apply to this category:
No upper limit of non-residential use.s Over 200,000 sq. ft. of non-residential
building area; CUP application would not be needed unless a project lies within
300 feet of an existing residence or school or CUP is otherwise required per
ordinance; Residential density of 3 to 40 units/acre. Sample uses include: All
MU-N and MU-C categories, entertainment uses, major employment centers,
clean industry.
Meridian City Code (MCC) 11-7-2.I. states the purpose of the C-G district is "to
provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto
and service oriented and are located in close proximity to major highway or
arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as retail sales
for the transient and permanent motoring public." The following Comprehensive
Plan policies also support the annexation and proposed retail/fuel service use:
· "Permit new. . . commercial developments only where urban
services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval
and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26,
Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Porky Park Subdivision
Exhibit C
Sanitary sewer, municipal water, solid waste and other services
exist to this area of Meridian.
· "Require all new parking lots to provide landscaping in intemal
islands." (Chapter V, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The Site Plan submitted with the CUP application for this
property shall show internal planters, as required.
· "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near
residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining
residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3)
The proposed commercial uses are located closest to the
intersection of a minor arterial roadway and a state highway.
A 25-foot wide street buffer is shown along Pine Ave and a 35-
foot wide street buffer is shown along Eagle Road SH55,
designed in part to mitigate potential negative impacts upon
the vehicular traffic on Eagle Road.
· "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial
streets:' (Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2)
Access to Pine Ave, including right-in/right-out and shared
accesses allowing travel towards the west/Eagle Road are
subject to the conditions of ACHD. A cross access agreement
within the properties at the future property boundaries will be
required so the cuts can be shared with adjacent development.
In addition, access to Eagle Road is prohibited in compliance
with lTD.
Staff finds that the requested General Commercial (C-G) zoning designation is in
accord with the Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Map, and the Mixed
Use-Regional designation.
B. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in the
future;
Staff finds that the proposed rezone and accompanying development plans
comply with the requested zone and staff does not anticipate that the property will
be rezoned in the future. The properties requesting commercial zoning meet the
requirements of a commercial/retail comprehensive designation and are adjacent
to an existing commercial development to the north. The industrial use
development east of the commercial phase is consistent with the development of
warehousing and wholesale production and sales which are located to the south of
the property. A Master or Concept plan for the 27.59 acres has been submitted
consistent with the development agreement for the rezone of the Jacksons Food
store (RZ-05-004) to address the future of rezoning on the subject property.
C. Is the area included in the zoning amendment intended to be developed in the
fashion that would be allowed under the new zoning;
Staff finds that the applicant has submitted detailed development plans for the
mixed uses on the property. Staff further finds that the convenience store use,
proposed hotel, and proposed light industrial businesses are allowed within the
appropriate zoning designations in this mixed use area.
D. Has there been a change in the area or adjacent areas which may dictate that
the area should be rezoned;
Staff finds that the immediate vicinity is a mix of undeveloped parcels that are
designated for a mix of uses in the future, existing urban density residential uses
(Meridian Crossroads), and property annexed and zoned as commercial and
industrial property. The southwest corner of Eagle and Pine (approx. 62 acres)
was annexed and zoned C-G (General Commercial) in February 2005 as part of
the Ten Mile Development planned development. Immediately south of the parcel
is an industrial subdivision with warehousing/sales/various industrial uses. The
widening of Pine A venue to five lanes, the construction of the middle School east
of the site, the signalization of the intersection, and the Eagle/I-84 on ramp are all
indicators of a need for a mix of commercial services in the area. The proposal is
consistent with adjacent uses in the City of Meridian and to the east in the City of
Boise.
E. Will the proposed uses be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to
be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended
character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the
essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed development is designed in a manner that will be
harmonious with and appropriate in appearance with the existing neighborhood.
The approved retail/fuel service/auto washing facilities on proposed Lot 1, Block
1 are listed uses in harmony with the intended uses in the C-G district and
received approval on May. The eastern edge of the proposed Jacksons Food Store
development (Pine Ave western entrance driveway) is approximately 207 feet east
of the 2-acre site, requiring a cross access agreement to be entered into. The
application does not indicate potential future uses on the eastern remainder of the
27.59 acre parcel. However, any future use will be consistent with the existing
zoning or only allowed through a public hearing/CUP or platting process in
compliance with the Future Land Use Map. The landscaped street buffers,
lighting standards and building setbacks as required by the Zoning Ordinance are
intended to ease impacts of these commercial and industrial uses on nearby
residences.
F. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the requested annexation and zoning to C-G should not be
disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. Any future change of use on the
property that may have a significant impact on the surrounding properties will
require conditional use approval under current ordinances, and adjoining property
owners will have an opportunity to comment.
Staff anticipates that the proposed cOlmnercial use will not be hazardous or
disturbing to the neighboring uses as long as lighting and noise ordinances are
adhered to. The Commission and Council should consider all public testimony,
oral and written, before making this finding.
G. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse
disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of
proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such
service;
Staff finds that the proposed uses can be adequately served by all essential public
services and facilities. Drainage will need to be retained on site.
H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public
facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional
requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff
finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare
of the community.
I. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes,
glare or odors;
Staff finds that the proposed C-G zoning of the property does not inherently allow
uses that will generate activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions
that are detrimental to the general welfare of the community. Permitted uses in the
C-G zone include gas stations facilities, banks, professional offices, clinics, dry
cleaning, hotels, restaurants and retail stores. However, as noted above, all future
uses will require a mix of use applications consistent with the Future Land Use
Map. Future uses and/or platting will allow for public testimony and site specific
conditions, if necessary, to mitigate uses that may be detrimental to any persons,
property or the general welfare.
J. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as
not to create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
The accompanying Preliminary Plat application shows vehicular access to the
property via existing curb cuts that have been authorized by ACHD. The property
owner negotiated the locations and design of these ingress/egress points to Pine
Ave with ACHD and access points may change slightly through the platting. To
help prevent interference with westbound Pine Ave traffic and southbound Eagle
Road traffic, left turns are prohibited out of the site, unless at the designated
access.
The applicant has shown a public roadway connection from the south border of
the project to connect Commerce Street with Pine Avenue. Staff supports this
location and connection in compliance with Preliminary Plat special consideration
#2.
The project is in compliance with ITD and the Meridian Comprehensive Policies
on access to principle arterials, no direct access to Eagle Road will be allowed.
Please see the ACHD and ITD reports for more information regarding vehicular
approaches and traffic.
K. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic
feature of major importance.
Staff finds that no natural or scenic features will be lost or damaged by the
project.
L. Is the proposed zoning amendment in the best interest of the City;
Staff finds that the proposed annexation would be in the best interest of the City
by increasing the supply of land zoned for neighborhood and vehicular oriented
commercial/retail uses North of I-84. The proposed zoning complies with the
Future Land Use Map, is not proposing any variances or exceptions to Meridian
City Code and will allow for the commercial improvement of land at a high
visibility intersection and industrial uses consistent with existing uses away from
the commercial corridor.

Required Findings for Preliminary Plat
PRELIMINARY PLAT FINDINGS AND REOUlREMENTS
Sections] 2-3-3 J.2 and 12-3-5 D read as follows: "In determining the acceptance of a proposed
subdivision, the Commission/Council shall consider the objectives ofthis title and at least the
following:
a. The conformance ofthe subdivision with the Comprehensive Development Plan;
Staff finds that the current zoning designation is in general compliance with the effective
Comprehensive Plan ('02) and the Future Land Use Map, which designates the land to be
"Mixed Use Regiona1."
Generally, the Mixed Use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land uses
that are typically developed under a master or conceptual plan. Sample uses are listed as
entertainment, clean industry, and major employers. The uses of Office/Retail closest to
Eagle Road are similar to the sample uses listed on Page 98 Chapter VII of the Meridian City
Comprehensive Plan. The uses ofwarehouse and wholesaling on the remaining lots are also
consistent with the underlying zoning designation and mixes of uses.
The proposed retail uses within the subdivision are permissible in the requested zones of the
MCC (11-8-1.) Therefore, Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and will not require further conditional approval if developed as
presented.
b. The availability of public services to accommodate the proposed development;
Staff finds that this development will not cause excessive additional requirements at public
cost. The property has existing sewer and water stubs served adequately by all essential
public facilities and services in Pine Avenue. The applicant shall be required to extend water
and sanitary sewer mains to and through the proposed development, thereby making them
available to the adjacent properties.
c. The continuity of the proposed development with the capital improvement program;
Staff fmds that the subdivision will not conflict with the capital improvement plan. Because
the developer is installing sewer, water, utilities and irrigation, the subdivision will not
require the expenditure of capital improvement funds.
d. The public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed development;
Porky Park Subdivision
Exhibit 0
Staff finds that the development will not require major expenditures for providing supporting
services. See item b.
e. The other health, safety or environmental problems that may be brought to the
Commission's attention.
Staff finds that there should not be any other health, safety or environmental problems
associated with this subdivision that should be brought to the Councilor Commission's
attention. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. No hazardous natural
features have been identified on the site.
