Item 6.
Public Hearing: RZ 02-004 Request for a Rezone of 8.2 acres from R-8
to C-G zones for Murdoch Subdivision No. 2 by Howell Murdoch
Development Corporation - west of South Locust Grove Road on East
Watertower Street:
Borup: Thank you. Okay. Item Number 6 is Public Hearing RZ 02-004, request for
rezone of 8.2 acres from R-8 to C-G zones for Murdoch Subdivision No. 2 by Howell
Murdoch Development Corporation. Open this Public Hearing and start with the staff
report.
Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. Murdoch
Subdivision is located at the intersection of East Watertower and Locust Grove. It is
across from the Woodbridge Subdivision in this area. Murdoch Subdivision No. 2 was
originally annexed to the City of Meridian and zoned R-8 in May of 2000 under the
name of Stratford Business Park. The next year, in May 2001, the Council approved a
plat for this property with the lot configuration that's shown under the name of Murdoch
Subdivision NO.2. The new Meridian Police Station sits on the large lot, right here,
which is Lot 8 of Block 2 of the subdivision. The current zoning of R-8 was granted at
that time, because it was in compliance with the 1993 Comprehensive Plan, which
designated that area as single-family residential. The recently adopted Comprehensive
Plan designates this same area commercial. The proposed rezone from R-8 to C-G in
compliance with the new Comprehensive plan, would allow for commercial development
of this property. The rezone is proposed on all lots of Murdoch Sub No.2, except for
the police station lot so that one is not being rezoned. You should have a staff report,
dated August 28th, from Bruce, Dave, and myself. We believe that findings are made
that shows that this rezone is in compliance with the current Comprehensive Plan for
the city. We note the standard conditions on Page 4 of that report and recommend
approval of this rezone with those conditions and I'll stand for any questions.
Borup: Questions from the Commission?
Centers: Any motion, Steve, should it state excepting the police station lot or identify it?
Siddoway: I don't know that it's necessary. The rezone application that was submitted
specifies the boundaries.
Centers: Okay.
Borup: Okay. Thank you. Does the applicant have anything to add to staff's
comments? Okay. That makes it easy. Is there anyone else here to testify on this
application? Seeing none.
