These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY & BACKGROUND The subject property was originally annexed to the City of Meridian and zoned R-8 in May, 2000 under the name Stratford Business Park. In May, 2001 the Council approved a plat for the property under the name of Murdoch Subdivision #2. The new Meridian Police Station was built on Lot 8, Block 2 of the subdivision. The current zoning ofR-8 was granted in compliance with the 1993 Comprehensive Plan, which designated the property as Single-Family Residential. The new 2002 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Commercial. The requested rezone would change the zoning of the subdivision from R-8 to CoG and allow for commercial development of the property. The requested rezone would affect all of the lots in Murdoch Subdivision #2, except for the Police Station lot, which would remain R-8. It appears that the legal description submitted with the application is accurate and meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission. And that if rezoned to CoG, the subject lot would conform to the minimum lot size and minimum frontage of the zone. LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property is generally located on the west side of'Locust Grove, approximately 1/2 mile south of Franklin Road. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES North: Medimont Subdivision, zoned I-L and Proposed Woodbridge office building, zoned L-O. South: Vacant land, zoned RUT (Ada County). East: Woodbridge Subdivision, zoned R-4.

The requested C-G zoning is harmonious with the "Commercial" designation and is in accordance with the overall goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. B. Is tbe area included in tbe zoning amendment intended to be re-zoned in tbe future; Staff finds that the proposed zoning amendment complies with the intended zone(s) supported by the Future Land Use Map. Staff does not anticipate that the property will be rezoned in the future. C. Is tbe area included in tbe zoning amendment intended to be developed in tbe fasbion tbat would be allowed under tbe new zoning; Staff finds that the applicant has not submitted detailed development plans for the un- built parcels within the development; however, staff finds that the land to be rezoned will be developed as a commercial subdivision. If the property is developed in accordance with the MCC, commercial development would be allowed under the new C-G zoning designation. D. Has there been a cbange in the area or adjacent areas whicb may dictate tbat tbe area sbould be rezoned; The recent adoption of the Comprehensive Plan changed the land use designation f the property. Furthermore, the City has recently completed construction of a new police station within this subdivision, suggesting that it would be appropriate to rezone the area to commercial, rather than residential uses. E.

All commercial development applications will have to be weighed on the merits of the specific application. All development will require a Certificate of Zoning Compliance or Conditional Use Permit application, as determined by the Schedule of Use Control in the City's Zoning Ordinance. F. Will not be bazardous or disturbing to existing or future neigbboring uses; Staff fmds that the reo-zone to C-G should not be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses. Specific uses allowed (either permitted uses or conditional uses) within the CoG zone may be disturbing to future or existing neighbors; however each development will be required to comply with the approval requirements of the MCC. The Commission and Council should carefully consider all public testimony, oral and written, before making this finding. G. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services sucb as bighways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water, sewer or that tbe person responsible for tbe establisbment of proposed conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any sucb service; Staff finds that the proposed uses will be adequately served by all essential public services and facilities. H. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to tbe economic welfare oftbe community; Staff fmds that the requested uses will not create excessive additional requirements at public costs for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff finds that the proposed rezone would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. L Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors; Staff fmds that the C-G zoning designation of the property does not inherently allow uses that will generate activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that are detrimental to the general welfare of the community. J.

Watertower and Stratford are designated as collector streets and no lots within the subdivision are allowed direct lot access to Locust Grove. K.
