square footage of non-residential uses and is intended to allow a broad range of uses.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the
proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy):
. Locate small-scale neighborhood commercial areas within planned residential developments as a part
of the development plan. (Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Action 3)
. Require screening and landscape buffers on all development requests that are more intense than
adjacent residential properties. (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action 2)
A 2V-foot landscaped land use b~ifJer is required between the proposed office development and
the existing residences to the west.
. Permit new residential, commercial, or industrial developments only where urban services can be
reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City. (Chapter
IV Goal II, Objective A)
All urban services can be made available to this site.
Touchmark Center Subdivision PP-05-054, CUP-05-050

. Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets. (Chapter VII, Goal IV,
Objective D, Action 5) .
Direct lot access to Franklin Road will be prohibited and the development will take access from
existing local roads.
9. UNIFED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control; UDC Table 11-2B-2lists personaL and professional services
(offices) as a permitted use in the R-4 zoning district.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the Commercial Districts is to provide for the
retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan.

accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location
of the district in proximity to streets and highways.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
1. PP AppLication:
Private Street: The proposed private street meets the requirements of ODC 11-3F-4
and shall be constructed per the provided cross section. The applicant shall be
responsible for meeting the requirements of UDC 11-3F-3 to gain approval of the
private street and no building permits shall be issued for any structure using the
private street for access until the private street has been approved.
Setbacks: Setbacks on the private street shall be measured from the back of curb if no
sidewalk exists, and from back of sidewalk if a sidewalk exists.
Landscape Street Buffers: The existing landscape buffers along Touchmark Way and
Louise Drive exceed the minimum requirements of the L-O zone and are approved as
proposed. The required landscape buffer along Franklin Road (an arterial) is 25'. A
20' landscape buffer exists along Franklin Road and must to be expanded to meet the
2S' requirement of City Code. The applicant shall revise the preliminary plat and
Landscape plan to reflect the required changes prior to submittal of the final plat.
Landscape Land Use Buffer: There is a 20' required land use buffer required between
lands zoned as L-O and properties under residential use. The applicant shall revise the
landscape plan to show a 20' land use buffer along the western boundary of Lots 6, 7,
and 8, Block 14, which complies with the requirements of UDC 11-3B-9 prior to
submittal of the final plat
Existing Buildinp:s: The site currently contains muLtiple buildings, including the
existing residence. Because the existing structures span across proposed lot lines
and/or are not allowed, all existing buildings shall be removed prior to signature of the
final plat by the City Engineer.
No Direct Lot Access to Franklin Road: No direct lot access to Franklin Road will be
allowed. The existing driveway access to Franklin Road from the existing home shall
be eliminated prior to signature of the final plat by the City Engineer.

On January 5, 2000 (MCUP-99-039), March 5,2002 (Touclunark Living Center Subdivision) and
April 8, 2003 (Meadow lake Village Subdivision) the District approved development applications
for this site. As a result of those applications, the District required the applicant to:
. Dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Franklin Road,
. Provide a road trust deposit for the construction of a S-foot concrete sidewalk abutting the
site,
. Construct Touchmark Way and Louise Drive as 40-foot street sections with vertical curb,
gutter and sidewalk,

. Design and construct a signal at the intersection ofTouchmark Way and Franklin Road,
. Provide adequate spacing (175-feet) between driveways on Touchmark Way and
. Access to Franklin Road is prohibited.
Since the approval of the previous applications Franklin Road has been reconstructed from Eagle
Road to Touchmark Way which eliminates the need for the 60-feet of right-of-way from the
centerline of Franklin Road and the road trust deposit for a concrete sidewalk from the parcel
located at 3615 Franklin Road. In addition to the improvement of Franklin Road, Louise Drive and
Touchmark Way have been constructed as 40-foot streets and a signal has been installed at the
Franklin Road and Touch111ark Way intersection.
As you can see, the applicant has met the requirements of the original approvals with the exception
of driveway locations. In order to comply with the previous approvals, the applicant will be
required to provide 175-feet between driveways on Touchmark Way. The applicant has not
proposed the construction of driveways with the preliminary plat application. The driveway
spacing will be reviewed and approved as each of the conditional use application or certificate of
zoni.ng compliance application is received by the District in the future.
