III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
This property is designated as General Industrial on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM). The use
of vehicle sales or rental and service is consistent with the comprehensive plan for the general
industrial designation.
The subject site is among several Industrial properties along Linder Road in the immediate area.
The proposed use of vehicle sales or rental and services is a permitted use in the I-L zoning which
is the zoning the applicant is requesting. In conjunction with the existing industrial users
surrounding this property,the proposed use satisfies the general industrial designation on the
comprehensive plan.
Table 4: Project Overview
Description Details
History I N/A
Acreage 1.0 acre
B. History and Process
The subject property is part of an enclave area surrounded by City annexed property.
Annexation of this land will provide more efficient provision of City services. Industrial
uses exist to the west across N. Linder Rd and to the south and east; single-family
residences exist to the north and in Ada County.
C. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1):
The existing residence is proposed to remain as the main office for the vehicle sales business.
The building shall abandon well and sceptic and connect to city services at the time of
annexation in accord with UDC.
2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The proposed use of vehicle sales or rental and service is a permitted use in the I-L zoning
district and aligns with the surrounding area. By adding additional industrial properties in the
city,this project contributes to the community's employment and economic growth.
Specifically, it adheres to Policy 3.07.01D,which encourages the preservation of industrial
land use areas by discouraging non-industrial users. Additionally,the proposal is consistent
with Policy 3.06.02D,which recommends locating industrial uses close to state highways and
the rail corridor. The property's location adjacent to Linder Road enhances its accessibility to
both the rail corridor and state highways. Staff finds the proposed use to be consistent with
the UDC and Comprehensive Plan.
3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards of the I-L zoning
district in UDC Table 11-3B-3. The applicant has received a letter from the northern property
owner to allow for a reduced landscape buffer to the residential property. This reduction will
be from 25 feet to 5 feet and requires City Council waiver to reduce the buffer as proposed.
Staff is supportive of the reduction since the adjacent property will more than likely develop
with an industrial use in the future.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(330 N.Linder Road—H-2024-0048) -6-
Additionally,the existing building will be non-conforming if annexed due to the 35-foot
setback requirement off Linder Road. The building is roughly 37-feet off the curb line but is
within the 35-feet when measured from the ultimate right of way. If approved,this would
create a non-conforming building and any new construction will be required to comply with
the I-L dimensional standards.
4. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3):
Vehicle Sales or rental and service— UDC 11-4-3-38:
A. Vehicle repair may be allowed as an accessory use,subject to the standards for
vehicle repair,major,and minor,in the district where the use is located.
The applicant is proposing a future maintenance shop for vehicle repair
purposes. While this is not going to be a use established on the site with the
initial development, the applicant will come through permitting for
establishing this accessory use in the future.
B. Inoperable or dismantled motor vehicles shall be stored behind a closed vision fence,
wall,or screen or within an enclosed structure and shall not be visible from any
street.
The applicant is proposing a future maintenance shop that will house any
inoperable vehicles. In the interim, there will be no inoperable or dismantled
cars on the site.
C. Automotive sales and rental areas shall be subject to the minimum perimeter
landscape requirement of parking areas in chapter 3, article B, "landscaping
requirements", of this title.
The minimum perimeter landscape requirements are being met and a
reduction of the northern 25 foot landscape buffer is requested through a
council waiver.
D. In addition to chapter 3, article B, "landscaping requirements", of this title, one(1)
square foot of landscaping for every fifty(50) square feet of vehicle display area
shall be provided.
The site has 540 square feet of proposed vehicle display area which means 11
square feet of landscaping is required and the applicant exceeds this
landscaping requirement.
E. Vehicle display pads are prohibited in the required landscape buffers.
The vehicle display is outside of the required 12.S foot with water conserving
design landscape buffer along Linder Road fulfilling this requirement.
However, the applicant shall only be allowed to have 3 vehicles displayed
along N. Linder Road at any one time. UDC 11-3A-19 discusses the
importance of building frontage along public roads and requires a minimum
of 30% of the fagade to occupy the frontage. By limiting the display vehicles
to 3, staff finds the fagade will maintain is prominent form along the frontage.
F. Vehicle display areas shall incorporate design features including,but not limited to,
landscape islands, curbing,and pedestrian walkways,that define main drive aisles
and internal circulation patterns.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(330 N.Linder Road—H-2024-0048) -7-
The concept plan shows curbing around the vehicle display with landscaping
on both sides to meet this requirement.
D. Design Standards Analysis
1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Landscape buffers along streets
The applicant is proposing waterwise landscaping which allows for a 50%reduction in street
landscape buffers. A 12.5-foot wide street buffer is required to be constructed along N.
Linder Rd., an arterial street,measured from back of sidewalk, landscaped per the standards
listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. Landscaping requirements will be analyzed with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance.
ii. Parking lot landscaping
Parking lot landscaping is required per the standards listed in UDC 11-313-8C. A minimum
5-foot wide buffer should be provided along the east property boundary unless the
requirement is reduced or waived by the Director for truck maneuvering areas as set
forth in UDC 11-3B-8C.1a. Staff recommends the applicant shift the planter islands to the
eastern buffer where the easement begins to maximize the parking on site. Landscaping
requirements will be analyzed with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
iii. Landscape buffers to adjoining uses
A 25-foot wide buffer is required to the residential land use to the north as set forth in UDC
Table 11-2C-3 and 11-4-3-34F, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C. The
Applicant requests City Council approval of a reduced buffer width from 25-to 5-feet
adjacent to the residential use to the north as allowed by UDC 11-313-9C.2 with notice to
surrounding property owners.A reduction to the buffer width shall not affect building
setbacks; all structures shall be set back from the property line a minimum of the buffer
width required in the I-L district(i.e.25-feet).A letter was submitted from the abutting
property owner to the north, Christopher and Angela Olson,agreeing to the proposed reduced
buffer.While the landscape buffer will be reduced,the building will still be 25 feet from the
north property line. Additionally,the eastern landscape buffer shall be landscaped in
accordance with the irrigation districts' allowances.
iv. Tree preservation
A Tree Mitigation Plan should be submitted with the certificate of zoning compliance
detailing all existing trees and methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any
trees are to be removed as set forth in UDC 11-3B-1OC.5.
v. Storm integration
Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-18. Drainage
swales should not be within the landscape setbacks along N. Linder Road.
2. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
i. Nonresidential parking analysis
UDC 11-3C-6 requires one space for every two thousand(2,000) sq. ft. of gross floor
area in industrial districts. The applicant has provided 27 parking spaces which exceeds
the UDC requirement. However,the applicant shall provide details for where customers
will park on the lot. This shall be separate from the vehicles for sale on the property.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(330 N.Linder Road—H-2024-0048) -8-
ii. Bicycle parking analysis
A minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space must be provided for every 25 vehicle
spaces or portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G; bicycle parking facilities are required to
comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C. Bicycle parking
is not depicted in the plans and shall be included with the certificate of zoning
compliance application.
3. Building Elevations (Comp Plan, Architectural Standards Manual):
The applicant is proposing to keep the existing residence and convert it into the main office.
Since the building is proposed to remain, it is not subject to the architectural standards.
However, a tenant improvement permit will be required from the Meridian Building
Department to convert the residence into a commercial building.Additionally,the applicant
is proposing a future maintenance building that will be required to comply with the
architectural standards manual.
4. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
The applicant is not proposing fencing with this application. However, staff recommends a 6-
foot tall privacy fence is installed and maintained on the north boundary to help buffer the
neighboring residential.
E. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
One(1)full driveway access exists to this site via Linder Rd.that is proposed to be
eliminated,and the applicant will share access with the property to the south through a cross-
access agreement.
The intent of the UDC(11-3A-3) is to improve safety by combining and/or limiting access
points to arterial streets to ensure motorists can safely enter all streets. Where local street
access is not available,the property owner is required to grant cross-access/ingress-egress
easements to adjoining non-residential properties. Although the use to the north is currently
residential, it's anticipated to change to a non-residential use at some point in the future. The
use to the south is commercial; as a provision of the development agreement, a cross-
access/ingress-egress easement was required to be provided to the subject property at the time
of future construction on the site and/or expansion of the existing parking lot,which has not
occurred.
In accord with UDC 11-3A-3, Staff recommends as a provision of the development
agreement, driveway stubs are constructed to the north and south property lines and a
cross-access/ingress-egress easement granted to the properties to the north(Parcel
#R3579000012) and south(Parcel#R3579000020)in an effort to combine and limit
access points to the arterial street(i.e.Linder Rd.). Copies of the recorded easements
should be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance application for the
proposed use.
While a fire truck turnaround is provided on-site,the applicant shall widen the cross-access
from the south to a 25-foot drive aisle. Additionally,the applicant shall work with our fire
department to ensure the turning radius for the entrance is sufficient. This will be analyzed
with the certificate of zoning compliance.
FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
FOR(330 N.Linder Road—H-2024-0048) -9-
2. Sidewalk/Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5):
An attached 7-foot wide sidewalk was recently constructed along N. Linder Rd. along the
frontage of this site. The Pathways Plan designates a 10-foot wide detached multi-use
pathway in this area. Because the sidewalk was recently constructed, the Park's Dept. does
not recommend it's removed and a new pathway constructed in its place at this time. If a new
pathway is constructed in the future,there should be adequate room within the existing right-
of-way(11'+/-) for the pathway without dedication of a public use easement.
F. Services Analysis
1. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-I5):
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided to each lot within the
subdivision as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15.
2. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best
management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18.
3. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
Connection to City water and sewer services is required and are available to be extended by
the developer with development in accord with UDC 11-3A-21 and Goals 3.03.03G&
3.03.03F.Urban sewer and water infrastructure and curb, gutter, and sidewalks are required
to be provided with development.
III. CITY/AGENCY COMMENTS & CONDITIONS
A. Meridian Planning Division
1. A Development Agreement(DA)is required as a provision of annexation of this property.
Prior to approval of the annexation ordinance,a DA shall be entered into between the City of
