The alley abutting the south side of the project site is paved but is not paved between this site
and E. 2nd Street. The alley operates as ONE WAY, westbound. The applicant is proposing to
change the alley to ONE WAY east bound. Staff supports the directional change, however, this
will require the applicant the pave the alley from the site's east property line to 2nd Street to
keep gravel from being tracked out onto the roadway. Coordinate the signage plan alley paving
with District staff.
, .~._~:;I:~
B.
On April 24, 2000, the District Planning and Development staff inspected this site and evaluated
the transp0l1ation system in the vicinity. On April 28, 2000, the staff met as the District's
Teclmical Review Committee and reviewed the impacts of this proposed development on the
District's transportation system. The results of that analysis constitute the following Facts and
Findings and recommended Site Specific Requirements.
":;,;itl
C. E. 15t Street has 17,392 existing vehicle trips per day which is a Level of Service F (LOS F). An
acceptable Level of Service for this segment ofroadway is D (LOS D) or 12,500 vehicle trips per
day. The proposed application will add approximately 100 vehicle trips per day on E. 1 sl Street.
D. The East First Street/Pine Street intersection operates at a Level of Service D (LOS D), and is
listed as one ofthe 100 critical intersections in Ada County. The subject site's additional traffic
is not anticipated to decrease the Level of Service at the intersection.
E. In 1998, the District conducted an analysis of the downtown roadway sections of Meridian. The
District recognizes the level of congestion on E. 1 sl Street and developed several alternatives for
long term improvement. These alternatives have been submitted for review by the City of
Meridian and other affected parties. A final determination has not yet been made.
F.
The applicant has applied for the vacation of the western portion of the alley (approximately 100-
feet) abutting the project. The vacation request includes a proposal to dedicate a new, north-
south alley to from E. 1 sl Street to Pine Street. The alley intersection with Pine Street would be
located approximately 1 DO-feet east of East First Street. The District will review the alley
vacation request under a separate agenda item.
0.. ,~
l
G. Request for Variance:
The proposed new alley intersection with Pine Street shows that the alley intersection with Pine
Street would be located approximately 1 DO-feet east of East First Street. Cun"ent District policy
requires a minimum intersection offset distance of 175-feet from the signalized intersection with
East First Street. The indicated variance is requested because there is no location on the
applicant's site which meets District policy. Staff supports the requested variance for the
,:::" following reasons:
":-. .,-
. The alley traffic will connect with a collector street, Pine Street, instead of an arterial, E. 151
Street. Pine Street is a lower volume road.

· The alley will be one-way southbound from Pine Street. At the south property line of the
site, the alley is proposed to be east-bound.
· The proposed intersection aligns with an existing driveway intersection on the north side of
Pine Street
H. The site has an existing curb cut driveway on E. 15t Street that is not proposed to be utilized by
the site. District policy requires the applicant to close any unused curb cuts on E. 15t Street and
Pine Street abutting the project site. Any new construction should include curb, gutter and
sidewalk to match the existing improvements. If the alley is approved for vacation, the applicant
should also be required to close the alley/E. 1 S[ Street approach. Coordinate the alley vacation
with the District's Right-of-Way staff.

1.
The transportation system will require improvement in order to accommodate the additional
traffic generated by additional development. Additional traffic will exacerbate the traffic
problems. The reconstruction of East First Street is not listed in ACHD's Five year Work
Program. However, the District has developed a plan to convert East First Street to one-way
northbound operation. Meridian Road would serve as the complementary one-way southbound
operation. The Transportation system would be adequate with this roadway configuration
proj ect.
The following requirements are provided as conditions for approval:

Site Specific Requirements:
1. Replace unused curb cuts on E. 15t Street and Pine Street with standard curb, gutter and
concrete sidewalk to match existing improvements.
2. Replace damaged curb, gutter and/or sidewalk on E. 1st Street and Pine Street with new curb,
gutter and/or concrete sidewalk to match existing improvements. Segments to be replaced shall
be detemlined by ACHD Constmction Services staff. Contact Constmction Services at 387-

application.

4. Locate the approach to the entrance only alley on Pine Street approximately 100-feet east of E.
15t Street. Construct the approach as a 20-foot wide curb retUll1 with IS-foot curb radii. Sign
the alley for entrance only. Coordinate signage plan with District staff.
5. Pave the new north/south alley 20-feet wide through the site to District standards. Dedicate 20-
feet of right-of-way for the new alley through the parcel.

applicant's parking 1Qt from Pine Street and either exit through the City's parking lot on
Pine Street or eastward down the alley. This proposal would require the one-way
designation on this alley to be reversed and. also require parking lots to be
reconfiguredlrestriped. If this proposal is approved, all costs to reconfigure existing
parlclng lots and theaJley (including, but not limited to, ACHD-imposed requirements,

easement to the Cityror maintenance of this .line. The easement agreement shall include
provisions that, should the sewer line need to be repaired, aU costs to replace
improvements on applicant's property will be borne by the applicant.
16. The lack of windows on portions of the east side of the buikling seems to detract from the
overall project. The Planning & Zoning Commission should state their design criteria
concerns and make recommendations to the applicant. Also, please provide a south
elevation, as this deSign should receive particular attention due to its adjacency to the
City's Generations Plaza.
17. To prevent confusion with City-owned filcilities, the project should be named something
other than Generations Plaza.
There are many issues to be considered with this project. Staff considers two of the most
significant issues the lack of parking and redirection ofme one-way alley.
One school of thought on the. parking issue is that surfuce parking lots are an inefficient, unsightly,
and cOWltetprodut."tive use of space in the downtown core and result in lower densities. They
contribute to more automobiles in the downtown core searching for parking. This creates a less
inviting enviromnent for pedestrians seeking to use the downtown core to socialize, recreate, shop
and work. Whenever possible, opportWlities should be explored to replace surfuce lots with
pedestrian :friendly parks, pJ~.es, outdoor eateries and shopping courts to enhalll"..e the overall
appeal and vitality of our downtown.
The City's current parking requirements retlect the dependence on the automobi1e_ The applicant
has indicated a willingness to ask employees to park in an area other than the adjacent sur:fa.ce
parking lot. However, this requirement. can also cause problems in recruiting prospective tenants
and employees due to the inconvenience. Some jurisdictions actually have u. maximum amoWlt of

allowable off-street parking.
Other business owners in the downtown core are understandly concerned about the lack of
parking. Paisano's Restaurut received a variance from the off-street parking requirements. The
City needs to explore parking alternatives/solutions. which could include the following:
. Forming an asse8$l))f'J1t district that could charge individual properties based on
required vs. provided parking spaces (e.g., for every space the applicant does not
provide, the applicant would pay a set fee).
. Provide periphery parking lots/parking garage with a shuttle service to the downtown
area.
. Impose time limits on all downtown parking which would require employees to park
elsewhere.
. Signage to direct shoppers to alternate parking sites.
,A:, for the one-way alley issue, the Meridian Fire Department and Police Department need to
seriously consider this option and the consequences related thereto. Specific design criteria needs
to be establishOO to facililale adequate turning radii and sigDage.
