Same as Applicant
IV. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
Land Use: This property is designated as Medium Density Residential(MDR)on the Future Land
Use Map(FLUM) contained in the (Comprehensive Plan). This designation allows for dwelling units
at gross densities of 3 to 8 dwelling units per acre.
Although dwelling units are typically desired in the MDR designation,the Comprehensive Plan does
state that at the discretion of City Council,areas with a Residential Comprehensive Plan designation
may request an office use if the property only has frontage on an arterial street or section line road
and is 2-acres or less in size. In this instance,no ancillary commercial uses are permitted.
The subject property meets the aforementioned criteria. The Applicant proposes an addition to the
existing residential structure for the purpose of leasing out spaces to uses that are allowed in the L-O
zoning district. This caveat in the Comprehensive Plan applies solely to office uses, classified in UDC
11-1A-1 as professional services and healthcare or social services,and does not include other non-
office uses allowed in the L-O district.See analysis below in Section Vfor more information.
Transportation: East Ustick Road, a 5-lane roadway which runs along the front/north side of this
property,is depicted as a residential arterial street on the Master Street Map(MSM). There are no
stub streets from adjacent properties/developments to this property.
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):
• "Permit new development only where it can be adequately served by critical public facilities
and urban services at the time of final approval,and in accord with any adopted levels of
service for public facilities and services." (3.03.03F)
City water and sewer service is available and can be provided to this property in accord with
UDC 11-3A-21.
• "Require urban infrastructure be provided for all new developments, including curb and
gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities."(3.03.03G)
Urban sewer and water infrastructure is available to this property. Curb, gutter and an
attached sidewalk was constructed along E. Ustick Rd. with the road widening project.
• "Ensure development provides safe routes and access to schools,parks, and other community
gathering places."(2.02.01G)
A sidewalk exists along E. Ustick Rd. on this site, which assists in providing a safe route to
schools,parks and other community gathering places.
• "Maximize public services by prioritizing infill development of vacant and underdeveloped
parcels within the City over parcels on the fringe."(2.02.02)
Annexation and redevelopment of the subject infill parcel will maximize public services.
V. STAFF ANALYSIS
Annexation &Zoning(AZ):
The Applicant proposes to annex 1.11 acres of land with an L-O zoning district,which includes land
to the section line of E. Ustick Rd. City Council approval is needed to approve the proposed L-O
zoning in the MDR FLUM designation as mentioned above in Section IV.
Page 3
EXHIBIT A
There is an existing 2,259 square foot(s.£) single-family dwelling on this site,which the Applicant
proposes an addition totaling 8,000 s.f. for tenant spaces for uses allowed in the L-O zoning district,
per UDC Table 11-2B-2.A conceptual site/landscape plan is included below in Section VII showing
how the site is proposed to re-develop with the larger building and associated parking,drive aisles,
walkways and landscaping. If the property is annexed,the existing structure will be required to
connect to City water and sewer service within 60 days of annexation and disconnect from
private service,as set forth in MCC 9-1-4 and 9-4-8.
Because the Comprehensive Plan only allows office use of properties with a residential FLUM
designation, Staff recommends uses in the proposed L-O district are restricted to"professional
services" and"healthcare or social services"only,which are defined in UDC 11-1A-1,as
follows:
Professional service uses include, but are not limited to:Architects, landscape architects and
other design services;graphic designers; consultants;lawyers;media advisors;photography
studios;and general offices. The term does not include healthcare and social service.
Healthcare and social services(NAICS Code 62). The use of a site for ambulatory healthcare
services.Included in this use are offices of dentists;physicians; chiropractors;optometrists;
mental health practitioners;physical, occupational and speech therapists;audiologists;
outpatient care centers,family planning centers,medical and diagnostic laboratories, imaging
centers, kidney dialysis centers;blood and organ banks.Social service uses include, but are not
limited to, individual and family services; community food and housing, emergency and other
relief services;vocational rehabilitation services;services for the elderly and persons with
disabilities;vocational rehabilitation services;and emergency and other relief services.
Professional services and healthcare or social services are listed as a principal permitted use in the L-
O zoning district in UDC Table 11-2B-2. Other uses typically allowed in the L-O district are not
allowed.
The reason for the restriction in the Comprehensive Plan is that other uses allowed in the L-O district
may be more intense and not compatible with adjacent land uses,which are typically residential, and
access and interconnectivity between uses may be limited and not adequate for other such uses.
The site is within the Area of City Impact(AOCI)boundary and is contiguous to City annexed land to
the south, east and west. A legal description was submitted for the boundary of the annexation area,
included in Section VII.A below.
The City may require a development agreement(DA) in conjunction with an annexation pursuant to
Idaho Code section 67-6511A. To ensure this property develops as proposed and required,Staff
recommends a DA with the provisions discussed herein and included in Section IX.A.
Access: There are two(2)existing driveway curb cuts to this site via E. Ustick Rd., an arterial street;
no other accesses are available to the site from adjacent properties. Only one(1)access driveway is
proposed with redevelopment of the site as shown on the site plan,the other driveway will be
removed.
Where access to a local street is not available,the UDC(11-3A-3A.2)requires the property owner to
grant cross-access/ingress-egress to adjoining properties via a recorded easement. This standard is
intended to apply primarily to non-residential properties but may extend to residential properties
where the use is anticipated to change to a non-residential use. This property and the adjacent
property to the east at 1001 E.Ustick Rd. (S 1106120867) only have access via an arterial street(i.e.
Ustick Rd.). The property to the east is designated on the FLUM as Medium Density Residential. The
subject property owner also owns the property to the east and doesn't anticipate fixture use of that
property changing from residential to a non-residential use. If a driveway stub and a cross-access
Page 4
EXHIBIT A
easement were required to the property to the east,the building pad would need to be reduced in size
and parking removed on the south side of the building in order for the driveway to align with the
adjacent property to the east. For these reasons, Staff does not recommend a driveway stub is required
to the east for future cross-access—the Commission and/or City Council may determine otherwise.
Parking: A minimum of 16 spaces are required to be provided for an 8,000 s.f. office building; a total
of 37 spaces are proposed,which exceed UDC standards by more than double.
Sidewalks/Pathways: A 7-foot wide(mostly) attached sidewalk exists along E. Ustick Rd. Detached
sidewalks are required along arterial streets per UDC 11-3A-17;however,because the existing
sidewalk is in good condition, Staff doesn't recommend it's reconstructed as a detached sidewalk.
A sidewalk is proposed on the south and west sides of the building adjacent to the drive aisle and
parking that ranges from 5 to 9 feet in width. The sidewalk that abuts parking on the south side of the
building is 7-feet wide,which accommodates vehicle overhang in accord with 11-3C-5B.4.
A 5-foot wide sidewalk is proposed from the perimeter sidewalk along Ustick Rd. to the main
building entrance in accord with UDC 11-3A-19.B.4.
Landscaping: A minimum 25-foot wide street buffer is required along E.Ustick Rd.,an arterial
street, landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C. The tree class should be included in the
plant material legend and should demonstrate compliance with the required standards(25%of the
required trees should be Class II; and 35%of qualifying trees must provide urban canopy at maturity.
The landscape plan depicts a 30-foot wide buffer and the plantings appear to comply with the UDC
standards.
Parking lot landscaping is required in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C. Class II or
III trees are required in perimeter buffers; tree class should be added to the plant legend to
demonstrate compliance.Planter islands are required at the ends of rows of parking to reduce the
visual impact of long rows of parked cars and to guide traffic.
The UDC(Table 11-2B-3)requires a minimum 20-foot wide buffer to residential uses in the L-O
zoning district,landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-9C. Residential uses abut the site
on three sides—to the west, south and east. The Applicant requests City Council approval of a
modified buffer width along the west property boundary of 8-foot 10-inches at its narrowest
point to 11+/-feet with an allowance for up to 2-feet of vehicle overhang within the buffer from
adjacent parking spaces. Such requests are allowed to be considered by City Council at a public
hearing with notice to surrounding property owners.The building will not encroach into any of
the required buffer areas. The buffer is required to include a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees,
shrubs, lawn or other vegetative groundcover. Typically,the buffer area should result in a barrier that
allows trees to touch within 5 years of planting; however,because a 6-foot tall privacy fence is
proposed,the planting requirement may be reduced to a minimum of one(1)tree per 35 linear feet,
plus shrubs,lawn, or other vegetative groundcover.Note:If Council does not approve the reduced
buffer width requested along the west boundary of the site, a 20 foot wide buffer shall be provided as
set forth in UDC Table 11-2B-3. This would reduce parking to 22 spaces as there wouldn't be
adequate room to accommodate parking along the west boundary, which still complies with the
parking standards in UDC 11-3C-6B.1 but may not be adequate for the site.
Mitigation is required for existing healthy trees 4"caliper and greater that are removed from the site
as set forth in UDC 11-3B-IOC.5. There are 18 existing healthy trees on the site totaling 384 caliper
inches, 11 of which,totaling 186 caliper inches, are proposed to be removed—these require
mitigation. The other seven(7),totaling 198 caliper inches, are proposed to be preserved and
protected on the site. Alternative compliance to this standard may be requested with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance application if it's not feasible to mitigate for all of the trees being removed.
Page 5
EXHIBIT A
Fencing: Fencing is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-7. Fencing exists
around the perimeter of the site; however,the applicant proposes to construct new 6-foot tall metal
framed vinyl privacy fence around the perimeter of the site as shown on the site plan.
Utilities(UDC 11-3A-21): Connection to City water and sewer services is required in accord with
UDC 11-3A-21. Street lights will be required to be installed with redevelopment of the property
in accord with the City's adopted standards,specifications and ordinances.
Trash: Trash carts are proposed within privacy fencing for screening at the southeast corner of the
building,which will be taken to the street for service.
Waterways: There are no existing waterways that cross this site.
Pressurized Irrigation System(UDC 11-3A-15): Underground pressurized irrigation water is
required to be provided to the development as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15.
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.
Hours of Operation: The UDC 11-2B-3B,restricts business hours of operation in the L-O zoning
district from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Building Elevations: Conceptual building elevation perspectives were submitted for the proposed
enlarged structure as shown in Section VIII.C. Final design of the structure is required to comply
with the design standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual(ASM). The
architectural character of the building should relate to adjacent residential uses.New
construction must share at least three similar accent materials,field materials,or other
architectural feature of a building within 150-feet of the property in accord with ASM Goal
1.2B.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance/Design Review: A Certificate of Zoning Compliance(CZC) and
Design Review application is required to be submitted to the Planning Division and approved prior to
submittal of building permit application(s).
