V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN(HTTPS://WWW..MERIDIANCITY.ORGICOMPPLAN):
LAND USE:
This property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM).
This designation will provide a full range of commercial uses to serve area residents and visitors.
Desired uses may include retail,restaurants,personal and professional services, and office uses,
as well as appropriate public and quasi-public uses. Multi-family residential may be allowed in
some cases,but should be careful to promote a high quality of life through thoughtful site design,
connectivity, and amenities. Sample zoning include: C-N, C-C, and C-G.
PROPOSED USE:The Applicant proposes to develop a vehicle washing facility on the site,which
will serve area residents and visitors. The use is allowed as a conditional use in the C-C district
per UDC Table 11-213-2.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES(https://www.meridiancity.or /g compplan):
Goals,Objectives,&Action Items: Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be
applicable to this application and apply to the proposed use of this property(staff analysis in
italics):
• "Require all new and reconstructed parking lots to provide landscaping in internal islands and
along streets."(2.01.04B)
All parking lot landscaping is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-
8C.
• "Permit new development only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time
of final approval and development is contiguous to the City."(3.01.01F)
City water and sewer service is available to be extended to this property with development.
• "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Area of City Impact."
(3.05.01J)
The proposed vehicle washing facility will contribute to the variety of uses and services in
Page 3
39
EXHIBIT A
this area.
• "Integrate the Meridian Pathways Master Plan into the site development review process to
ensure planned paths are built out as adjacent land develops."(3.07.02H)
A multi-use pathway was previously constructed on this property along the Fivemile Creek
in accord with the Pathways Master Plan.
• "Improve and protect creeks and other natural waterways throughout commercial,
industrial, and residential areas."(4.05.01D)
The Fivemile Creek, which runs along the western and southern boundaries of the site,
should be protected during development of the site.
• "Require all new development to create a site design compatible with surrounding uses
through buffering, screening,transitional densities,and other best site design practices."
(3.07.01A)
In accord with this guideline, Staff has recommended conditions of approval, as noted
below in Section VI, to buffer the proposed use from the residential uses to the southwest
in Creekside Arbour to reduce noise and visual impacts from the proposed use.
• "Minimize noise, lighting, and odor disturbances from commercial developments to
residential dwellings by enforcing city code."(5.01.01F)
Operation of the proposed use should comply with City ordinances pertaining to noise and
lighting.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
The Applicant proposes a Conditional Use Permit(CUP) for a vehicle washing facility on 3.13 acres
of land in the C-C zoning district per requirement of the rezone ordinance(#02-940).Note: The UDC
(Table 11-2B-2) lists vehicle washing facilities as a principal permitted use in the C-C district.
Picture of subject property from Google maps:
The rezone ordinance approved with the annexation in 2002,requires compliance with several
conditions, some of which have already been satisfied or have changed since that time. A list of these
conditions is included below along with Staff s comments in italic text.
1) Applicant shall work with the Public Works Department on dedication of an easement
paralleling the Five Mile Creek for a future sanitary sewer relief main.
An easement was previously granted as required(see Public Works comments in Section IX.B
of this report for additional requirements).
Page 4
40
EXHIBIT A
2) Dedicate 60-feet of right-of-way from the centerline of Fairview Avenue abutting the parcel
by means of recordation of a final subdivision plat or execution of a warranty deed prior to
issuance of a building permit(or other required permits),whichever occurs first.
ACHD is requiring an additional 62'of right-of-way to be dedicated from centerline of
Fairview Ave. abutting the site as proposed.
3) Construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Fairview Avenue abutting the parcel.
Coordinate the location and elevation of the sidewalk with District staff.
A 10'wide attached sidewalk exists along Fairview Ave.
4) Construct a 24 to 30-foot wide driveway at the west property line to align with Barbara Street
on the north side of Fairview Avenue.
ACHD is requiring a 30'wide right-in/right-out only driveway onto Fairview Ave. located
152'east of Barbara Dr. (see the ACHD report in Section IX.C of this report for more
information).
5) Required by District policy,restrictions on the width,number and locations of driveways,
shall be placed on future development of this parcel.
Only one (1)access via Fairview Ave., as detailed above, is allowed.
6) Upon review of a specific development application,ACHD may have additional requirements
not addressed in their report.
See ACHD report in Section IX.C of this report.
7) Comply with all Standard Requirements of the February 21,2001 ACHD Commissioner's
letter,which they acted on MRZ-01-001, and which conditions and requirements also apply
to this application(RZ-01-007).
See ACHD report in Section IX.C of this report for updated requirements applicable to
development of this site.
8) That all uses on this property shall require a conditional use permit.
This condition is satisfied with the subject CUP application.
9) That a significant portion of the property is within the flood plain,which Five Mile Creek
runs along;that Five Mile Creek is designated as a multiple use pathway and in the future
open discussion on how to accommodate a pathway through the area shall be required,which
shall be included as part of the conditional use permit process in the future.
A 10'wide multi-use pathway has been constructed on the site along the Fivemile Creek as
required.
Specific Use Standards: There are specific use standards in the UDC that apply to the proposed use,
as follows:
11-4-3-39 Vehicle Washing Facility
A. A site plan shall be submitted that demonstrates safe pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation
on the site and between adjacent properties.At a minimum,the plan shall demonstrate compliance
with the following standards: Staffs analysis in italic text.
1. Stacking lanes shall have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of the public right-of-way
by patrons. The site plan demonstrates compliance with this requirement.
Page 5
41
EXHIBIT A
2. The stacking lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access and
parking. The site plan demonstrates compliance with this requirement.
3. The stacking lane shall not be located within ten(10)feet of any residential district or existing
residence. The stacking lanes are not within 10'of any residential district or residence.
4. A letter from the transportation authority indicating the site plan is in compliance with the
highway district standards and policies shall be required. The ACHD report is included in
Section IX.C of this report.
B. Within the industrial districts, a vehicle washing facility shall be allowed only as an accessory use
to a gasoline or diesel fuel sales facility for use by non-passenger vehicles. The vehicle washing
facility shall be limited in capacity to a single vehicle. The intent is to discourage facilities that cater
to passenger vehicles.Not applicable (this site is in a commercial district).
C. Any use that is not fully enclosed shall be located a minimum of one hundred(100) feet from any
abutting residential district, and shall be limited in operating hours from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The
proposed carwash will be fully enclosed except for the entry and exit doors, which typically remain
open during operating hours. The proposed hours of operation are from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, seven
days a week.
D. If the use is unattended,the standards set forth in section 11-3A-16 of this title shall also apply. The
proposed use will not be unattended.
Dimensional Standards: Future development should be consistent with the dimensional standards
listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-C zoning district.
Access: One(1)right-in/right-out driveway access is proposed at the northern boundary of the site via
E. Fairview Ave., an existing arterial street. The driveway location depicted on the site plan complies
with ACHD's requirements.
The UDC(11-3A-3A.2) limits access points to arterial streets in an effort to improve safety and
requires a cross-access ingress/egress easement to be granted to adjoining properties where access to
a local street isn't available. In this case, access is only available via an arterial street(i.e. Fairview
Ave.). The ACHD report also recommends the City require cross-access to the parcel to the east
(#S 11071280807)to help reduce conflicts on Fairview Ave. For these reasons, Staff recommends a
cross-access ingress/egress easement and driveway is provided to the adjacent property to the
east(Parcel#511071280807)for future access and interconnectivity; the plans should be revised
to include this driveway and an access easement should be submitted with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application.
Parking: Off-street parking is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3C-6B.1,which
requires one(1) space for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. Based on 5,600 s.f., a minimum
of 11 spaces are required; a total of 24 spaces are proposed, exceeding the minimum standards by 13
spaces. Due to the nature of the proposed use,the proposed parking will mostly provide parking for
use of the vacuums but will also provide parking for employees.
A bicycle rack capable of holding at least one(1)bicycle is required per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle
parking facilities are required to comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-
5C.A bike rack is depicted on the site plan that will hold two(2)bicycles in accord with this
standard.A detail should be included on the site plan submitted with the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance application that complies with the aforementioned design standards.
Landscaping: A 25' wide street buffer is required along E. Fairview Ave., landscaped per the
standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. A 40'+buffer is proposed. The landscape plan depicts a 15' wide
overhead power line easement along the frontage of this site along Fairview Ave.,which prohibits
Class II trees within 25' of the easement; therefore,the requirement for 25%of qualifying street
Page 6
■
EXHIBIT A
buffer trees to be Class II does not apply. Lawn or other grasses aren't allowed to comprise more
than 65% of the vegetated coverage of the buffer; the remainder of the area should be mulched
and treated as planting area for shrubs or other vegetative groundcover in accord with UDC
11-313-7C.3e; the landscape plan should be revised to comply.
Parking lot landscaping is required to be provided in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-
8C. Staff recommends additional trees are provided within the buffer along the west boundary
of the site(1 tree per 35'); and shrubs are included in the buffer along the east boundary to
meet the perimeter buffer requirements.
The UDC(Table 11-2B-3)requires a 25' wide buffer to be provided to residential uses, landscaped
per the standards in UDC 11-3B-9C. Residential uses exist to the southwest of this site in Creekside
Arbour. A 50' wide irrigation district easement exists along this boundary for the Fivemile Creek.
The easement may count toward a portion of the required buffer as it provides a spatial separation
between the uses;however, an additional buffer should be provided outside of this easement
along the entire southern boundary of the site at a width necessary to accommodate a berm
and/or wall/fence with dense landscaping that includes a mix of materials(i.e.evergreen and
deciduous trees,shrubs,lawn,or other vegetative groundcover) allowing trees to touch within
5-years of planting. Staff feels this is necessary due to the orientation of the carwash with the entry
facing the residential neighborhood,which will likely funnel noise from the carwash directly to the
residences.
Landscaping is required along all pathways per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C. A minimum
5' wide landscape strip is typically required on each side of all pathways; however,when the pathway
was constructed on this vacant/undeveloped site by the City, landscaping wasn't installed as there
wasn't an irrigation system on the site to provide water for landscaping. A wrought-iron fence exists
along the pathway(3' east of the pathway)—none of the area between the fence and the creek is
landscaped and Staff isn't recommending provision of any landscaping within that area with this
application as there isn't adequate area between the pathway and the top of bank and the fence for
such. On the east side of the fence adjacent to the pathway, a 35+foot wide perimeter landscape
buffer is proposed with landscaping that complies with UDC standards for pathways.
Mitigation is required for existing trees removed from the site as set forth in UDC 11-3B-1OC.5. The
black locust trees on the site were deemed to be dying and not salvageable by the City Arborist;
therefore,no mitigation is required for removal of these trees(see letter in Section IX.D).
Sidewalks: An attached 10-foot wide sidewalk exists along the northern perimeter boundary of the
site along E. Fairview Ave. The UDC(11-3A-17C)requires a minimum 5-foot wide detached
sidewalk to be provided along arterial streets such as Fairview Ave.; however,because the sidewalk is
in good condition and is wider than required, Staff is not recommending it's reconstructed as a
detached sidewalk.
A 5-foot wide concrete pedestrian walkway is proposed from the perimeter sidewalk to the building
in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19.B.4.
Pathway: A 10' wide multi-use pathway exists along the Fivemile Creek on this site in accord with
the Pathways Master Plan. A 20' wide recreational pathway easement(Inst. #2016-109496) for the
pathway is depicted on the landscape plan.
Fencing: A wrought iron fence exists along the east side of the multi-use pathway along the Fivemile
Creek.No new fencing is depicted on the landscape plan.Any fencing constructed on the site should
comply with the standards for such in UDC 11-3A-6C and 11-3A-7.
Waterways: The Fivemile Creek runs along the western and southern boundaries of this site within a
90' wide irrigation easement(45' each side from centerline)—50' of which lies on this property as
Page 7
43
EXHIBIT A
depicted on the landscape plan.
A portion of this site where the Fivemile Creek is located along the west and south boundaries of the
site is in the floodway. The majority of this site is located within the floodplain(flood zones AE and
X). A floodplain development permit will be required to be submitted to the Public Works
Dept.for approval prior to development of the property.
Hours of Operation: As noted above,the proposed hours of operation are 7:00 am to 9:00 pm.
Because the entry to the carwash directly faces the existing residences to the south,which could
be negatively impacted by the noise from the carwash, Staff recommends a condition of
approval that prohibits the proposed use from operating before 7:00 am and after 10:00 pm.
Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment on the back of the building or on the rooftop and
all outdoor service and equipment should be incorporated into the overall design of buildings and
landscaping so that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of
view from adjacent properties and public streets as set forth in UDC 11-3A-12.
Noise: The proposed use is required to comply with the City's noise ordinance(MCC 6-3-6—Noises
Creating Public Disturbance). The Applicant states each vacuum will be powered by a larger turbine
that will have an exhaust silencer/muffler to mitigate any noise concerns. A sound intensity exhibit
for the turbines was submitted, included in Section VIII.D of this report,that shows the sound decibel
(DB)readings at different intervals up to 30' away(which measures 38 DB at 30')with a comparison
of typical vehicular traffic at 60-75 DB on most City streets.
Trash Enclosure: The trash enclosure is located along the southern boundary of the parking area. A
receptacle for recycling should be provided within the trash enclosure; a detail should be
submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application that demonstrates compliance.
Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevations were submitted as shown in Section VIII.0 for
the proposed vehicle washing facility that depict modulation and articulation on all facades with belly
bands,awnings,metal cladding designed to look like cedar, glazing and other architectural features.
A mix of materials are proposed consisting of burnished CMU,natural stone, cedar rendition metal
cladding and other natural materials with metal roofing and canopies. The color scheme will include
various browns,tans, and other warm earth tones. The final design is required to be consistent with
the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance&Design Review: A Certificate of Zoning Compliance and
Design Review application is required to be submitted for the proposed use prior to submittal of a
building permit application to ensure consistency with the conditions in Section IX,UDC standards
and design standards.
