IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS (Comprehensive Plan)
A. Comprehensive Plan Text(https:llwww.meridianciU.or /g compplan):
3.01.0113 -Update the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code as needed to
accommodate the community's needs and growth trends.
Many of the requested code changes associated with this text amendment are meant to serve
community needs, support current growth trends and maintain the integrity of the plan.
3.04.01B—Maintain and update the Unified Development Code and Future Land Use Map to
implement the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
City staff keeps a running database of code revisions throughout the year. The Department is tasked
with keeping the code current and relevant. Staff believes the proposed changes encompass the vision
of the plan and is largely supported by those who participated in the process.
V. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS (UD
The proposed text amendment provides a broad range of changes and additions to multiple code sections.
This is the first one in a series of others to follow in the upcoming year.
This phase of text changes includes several modifications throughout Chapters 2-5 of the Unified
Development Code(UDC)and are clean-up items that have been tracked since the last code update. The
most notable text changes are as follows:
1. Table 11-2A-2—Allowed use table in the residential districts: Proposes to allow family daycares in the
R-2 zone;
2. UDC 11-2B-3A.3—Commercial standards: Proposes to allow a maximum height of 100 feet in some of
the commercial districts when it is within a certain distance of the I-84 corridor.
3. UDC 11-4-3-2 Arts, entertainment or recreational facility,indoor or outdoor specific use standards:
Proposes to require conditional use permit for outdoor lighting if compliance with the lighting standards
isn't feasible.
4. UDC 11-4-3-10 Drinking establishment specific use standards: Proposes to remove the prohibition of
this use when it is within three hundred feet of a church or education institution.
All the proposed changes to the UDC are included as part of the public record. Staff has purposely not
attached the table of changes in the staff report to minimize the size of the report and improve the review
quality of the document for the public, Commission, and Council. Commentary associated with proposed
changes are also part of the table that explains the reason for the modification or addition to the code.
All of the proposed changes went through an extensive and collaborative review process over several
months between City staff and the UDC Focus Group.
In summary, City Staff believes the proposed changes will make the implementation and use of the UDC
more understandable and enforceable.
VI. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment to the UDC based on the analysis provided
in Section IV and V, modifications presented in Exhibit A and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions
of Law in Section VIII.
