RECOMMENDATION
The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission hereby recommends to
the City Council of the City of Meridian that they approve the conditional use
permit as requested by the applicant, subject to the following, with modifications by
the Planning and Zoning Commission italicized:
Adopt the Recommendations of the Planning and Zoning and Engineering staff as
follows:
1.1 Any existing irrigation/drainage ditches crossing the property to be
included in this project shall be tiled per City Ordinance 12-4-13. The
ditches to be piped should be shown on the site plans. Plans will need to
be approved by the appropriate irrigation/drainage district, or lateral
users association, with written confirmation of said approval submitted
to the Public Works Department.
1.2 Off-street parking shall be in accordance with the design standards set
forth in Section 11-13-4 of the City of Meridian Zoning and
Development Ordinance and in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. All site drainage shall be contained
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 2
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — PARK AND RIDE LOT FOR 100 VEHICLES
ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT
and disposed of on-site.
1.3 Paving and striping shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in
Sections 11-13-4.D. and 11 -13 -4.E. -G. of the City of Meridian Zoning
and Development Ordinance and in accordance with Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
1.4 All signage shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Section
11-14 of the City of Meridian Zoning and Development Ordinance. No
temporary signage, flags, banners or flashing signs will be permitted.
1.5 Provide five -foot -wide sidewalks in accordance with City Ordinance
Section 12-5-2.IC
1.6 Provide street lights in accordance with City Ordinance Section 12-5-
2.6. The lights on the property will only shine 180°.
1.7 As part of a conditional use permit, the City of Meridian may impose
additional restrictions/conditions.
1.8 No new municipal sewer or water service is being requested by ACHD
to serve the site (no restroom). The only public amenities proposed are a
pay phone, transit shelters and security bicycle lockers, none of which
require City services.
1.9 City Ordinance 11-2-2 defines "Subdivision" as the "result of an act of
dividing an original lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more
parts. The term "subdivision" shall also include the dedication of a
public street..." The dedication of new road right-of-way on this parcel,
therefore, will require a preliminary and final plat in order to create the
two separate legal parcels noted on the Site Plan. Staff has indicated to
the property owner (W.I. Moore) that we could support allowing the
Park &_ Ride Lot to proceed with the condition that a Preliminary Plat
application be submitted prior to any development on the proposed
3.25 -acre parcel east of the subject lot. So, under this scenario, the CUP
could be approved and the Park & Ride Lot constructed with this
condition attached for the 3.25 -acre parcel.
1.10 The proposed roadway also exceeds the Meridian City Ordinance
Section 12-4-2-B., which states that no street which ends in a cul-de-sac
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 3
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — PARK AND RIDE LOT FOR 100 VEHICLES
ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT
or a dead-end shall be longer than four hundred fifty feet (450'). A
variance from this section would be required for the City to approve
public road dedication and a plat.
1.11 Staff does not agree with ACHD that the new, 480 -foot access road off
Overland be constructed as a rural road with no sidewalk, curb or gutter.
Serving a commercially zoned parcel, it should be constructed as a
commercial street section. Also, as a Park &_ Ride Lot, pedestrian and
bicycle access into the site from Overland Road seems important. We
recommend that sidewalk be constructed on at least one side of the new
access road until such time as Parcel 2 is developed.
1.12 No trash enclosures or containers are shown on the Site Plan. The
Applicant should detail if and/or where they intend to provide trash
receptacles, size, exact location, etc.
1.13 Ordinance 12-4-7 requires a minimum of 20 -foot wide planting strip be
constructed next to incompatible features. Staff considers this use
incompatible with the single family residence adjacent to the south
(Cope property). Therefore, the landscape strip shown along the south
boundary must be increased from 15 feet (as shown) to 20 feet wide.
We recommend the Applicant construct either a 3-4 foot high screening
wall in front of the 16 parking spaces that head -in to the south property
line OR provide a dense landscape screen that will provide an effective
Duffer withir, thr,e (3) years from date of lot completion. In order to
accommodate the five -foot -wide increased buffer on the south side, Staff
could support reducing the 40 -foot wide buffer along 1-84 to 35 feet. As
1-84 and SH69 are both designated as entryway corridors, a 35 -foot
minimum landscape buffer adjacent to the roadways shall be a condition
of approval.
1.14 Applicant is to provide a detailed landscape plan for review and approval
with submittal for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance. Said Certificate
of Zoning Compliance is required prior to breaking ground in
accordance with City Ordinance Section 11-19-1.
1.15 The Site Plan shows four (4) trees within the Ten Mile Drain easement.
Staff supports these locations, but a License Agreement with Nampa -
Meridian Irrigation District granting approval for the trees within their
easement must be submitted prior to the City granting final approval for
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL - 4
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — PARK AND RIDE LOT FOR 100 VEHICLES
ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT
the site. If such an Agreement cannot be obtained, the trees cannot be
omitted and must be relocated to another location within the site.
1.16 The Site Plan does not show any trees within the interior lot planting
islands. A minimum of I four (4) shade trees should be added to these
planters in order to provide improved aesthetics and cooling to the lot
interior.
1.17 No van -accessible parking stall (8 -foot access aisle) is shown on the Site
Plan. Staff recommends at least one of the aisles be widened to 8 feet to
provide better van accessibility.
1.18 No signage details were submitted with the application other than
standard ADA handicap parking signs. Standard highway district signage
is anticipated, but this should be clarified by the Applicant. The City
P&Z Department would request ACHD's cooperation to be able to
review any signs proposed to identify the site beyond the normal street
directional signage.
1.19 The Destination 2015 Plan lists the 1-84/Meridian Road Interchange
improvement under the future project list. It calls for a cloverleaf design
to facilitate 1-84 westbound traffic onto SH69 southbound. The future
design of the interchange could possibly significantly impact the subject
parcel. The Applicant should address this issue with ITD and clarify to
the City how the future interchange design may impact the Park S& Ride
Lot. The Planning and Zoning Commission specifically recommended that
Comments be included to City Council regarding traffic and the widening of the
roads around Franklin and Meridian Roads, in addition to discussion made on
the record.

Dear Planning and Zoning,

Ggoo
ity of Meridia,,,
While I fully support the necessity and concept of a "Park and Ride" located in Meridian, I
urge you to review the hazards of placing one at the Meridian and Overland crossroads at
this time.
The current traffic congestion on our section of Overland would only worsen during the
rush hour time frames with Park and Ride in place. Currently, vehicles back up to Bonefish
while they are waiting for the Meridian Road stop light at 5:00 p.m. Turning left from
Bonefish now can be hazardous as cars are also attempting to enter or exit Overland from
Meridian Greens.
During the morning rush hour, I can envision Overland east bound park and ride
participants unable to make the required left turn into their location because of west bound
Overland traffic and vehicles backing up all the way to the Meridian Road/Overland
intersection. The result would be to prevent the drivers south bound in Meridian Road from
making a left onto Overland Road which is currently stacking up well past JB's Restaurant.
Until the intersection of Meridian Road and Overland is widened and improved, with an
additional left turn lane, adding more vehicles at rush hour does not seem wise.
Additionally, we oppose future development south of Overland, near Locust Grove before
those roads are widened and turn lanes added.
If I can be of any help to the Planning Committee, please let me know.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Larry Chetwood
