FROM:
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The Applicant, Ron Van Auker, has applied for a Rezone (RZ) of2.20 acres from I-L (Light Industrial) to
C.G (General Retail and Service Commercial). The Applicant intends to construct office and retail uses
on this site that are not allowed within the Light Industrial zone. The subject property is located at the
nOl1hwl;!it corner of East Lanark Street and Eagle Road in Section 8, Township 3 North, Range 1 East,
RM., and is currently referenced as Assessor's Parcel Numbers R6510S80012 and R6510580020. This
property is within the Urban Service Planning Area and the corporate boundaries of the City of Meridian.
This site, Lots I & 2, Block 1, of the Olson & Bush Industrial Park, Phase I, is currently Vacant. The
other lots within the Olson & Bush Industrial Park. Phase I, have been fully developed/built-out. Lot 1,
Block 1, of the subject site, has direct frontage on Eagle Road and E. Lanark Street. Lot 2 also fronts E.
Lanark Street.
The applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan and elevations for this site. The applicant is proposing
to make site improvements (landscaping, pathways, etc.) at the time of submittal for a Certificate of
Zoning Compliance (Czq. At that time, Planning Staff will require site improvements in accordance
with the Unified Development Code, including but not limited to, parking and landscaping. As the subject
property also lies within an entryway corridor, the applicant will also he required to suhmit for Design
Review of the proposed structure.
The proposed zoning amendment (RZ) is not consistent with the 2002 Comprehemive Plan Future J ,and
Use Map, which deems the appropriate land uses for this site, "Industrial." Despite the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map designation of "Industrial" for this area, the applicant's request to rezone the property
to C-U is generally compatible with the surrounding land uses, as there is extensive commercial
development along Eagle Road including, but not limited to, the big box retail furniture store located
directly east ofthe site.
2. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
While the Comprehensive Plan Zoning Map's designation for the subject property is Industrial, staff
believes that the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the existing conditions in this area support the
proposed zoning amendment. Therefore, Staff reconunends approval of RZ-06-01O, as presented in the
staff report for the hearing date of November 2, 2006, based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit
D and subject to the Conditions of Approval outlined in Exhibit B. The Meridian Planoin!! and Zonin!!
Commission heard this item on November 2. 2006. At the public hearin!!. thev moved to

f. Sununary of Proposed Streets and/or Access:
The subject property will be directly accessed via E. Lanark Street. No new accesses are
proposed with the application to Eagle Road. Direct lot access to Eagle Road should be
prohibited. Any new access point to LlInllrk Street must be approved by ACHD.
7. COMMENTS MEETING
On October 13, 2006, Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and departments
present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. No significant comments were
received from any agencies or departments. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions in
the attached Exhibit A. Because this is only a rezone application, there are no conditions of approval.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map as "Industrial." The
Comprehensive Plan defines the Industrial district as: "Areas designated to allow a range of industrial
uses to support industrial and commercial activities and to develop with sufficient urban services. In light
industrial areas, uses may include warehouses, storage unites, light manufacturing, and incidental retail
and office uses. Heavy industrial areas may include processing, manufacttuing, warehouses, storage units,
and industrial support activities. In all cascs, standards for screening, landscaping, and adequate access
would be developed and implemented."
Although this designation is not consistent with the proposed G-G (General Retail and Service
Commercial) zone, staff finds that there is a strong argument for saying that the policies set forth in the
comprehensive plan do suppOlt a conullercial use on this site. A key component of lhis argunu.nt i:l tilt:
relative flexibility of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan (quoted below) as described in Chap~er I, Section B
of the Comprehensive Plan.
"The Meridian Comprehensive Plan is an official policy guide for decisions concerning the
physical development of the community. It indicates, in a general way, how the community
may develop in the next five to ten years."
Furthermore, in Chapter vn, Section C - "Future Conditions" states the following:
"Figure VII-2 [The Comprehensive Land Use Map] depicts desired future land use categories
and their location within the Impact Area. The areas depicted on the map are conceptual and,
therefore, will require further analysis prior to the creation of a zoning map-"
While the proposed zone does not explicitly comply with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, staff,
upon further analysis, finds that it would be acceptable to extend the "Commercial" designation to this
property as the proposed zone does fit with the development patterns of the sUITmUlding area.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the
proposed development (staff analysis below policy in italics):
. Chapter VIT, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 7 - Encourage "",high density development along
major transportation corridors..."
The subject property has frontage on SH 55 I Eagle Road, a principal arterial roadway. This
proposed commercial and office development will complement adjacent commercial uses.

· Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 5 - "Require appropriate landscape and buffers
along transportation corridors..."
At the time of submittal for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance, Staff will require the applicant to
provide landscaping per the UDe standards including, but not limited to, within the parking area,
the buffering adjacent to Eagle Road and Lanark Street.
· Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 4 - "Integrate pathway / bikeway plans to ensure
appropriate access along the right-of-way."
Per the UDC standards, Staff will require the applicant to provide a ten-foot wide detached
sidewalk along Eagle Road and attached sidewalk on Lanark Street at the time 0/ submittulfur u
Certificate o/Zoning Compliance.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists the pennitted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the CoG zoning district. Retail storc;;s, offices ust:S, liIlll st:rvict:-blised industries
are either principally or conditionally permitted uses within the CoG zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The pUllmse of the Couunes-cilil Districts is to provide for the retail
and service needs of the commWlity in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Four
Districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of conunercial structures accommodated
in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in
proximity to streets and highways.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
REZONING ANALYSIS:
Basc:u on the compliance of the proposed development with the Unified Development Code and the
general conformance with the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan, staff
believes that rezoning the subject property from I.L to CoG is justifiable. Plea!'le !'lee 'Exhibit D for
detailed analysis of the required facts and fmdings for rezoning.
The legal description for rezoning submitted with the application (prepared on August 8, 2006, by
Todd R. Waite, PLS) shows the property within the existing corporate boundary of the City of
Meridian_
A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of rezoning of this property. Prior to
rezoning approval, a DA shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, the property owner(s)
at the time of rezoning ordinance adoption, and the developer. Tbe applicant shall contact the
City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 888~4433 to initiate this proeess. The DA shall include, at minimum,
the following:
. All future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions
of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason
of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
. All future development of the subject property shall comply with City of Meridian ordinances
in effect at the time of development, as well as any requirements of this site associated with
annexation and platting of the Olson & Bush Industrial Park.
. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with sewer and water service
installation.

.
1. Concept Plan: The applicant has submitted a concept plan for this site. Staff is generally
supportive of the concept plan submitted with the rezone application, with the following
comments:
2. Access: There are two proposed access points to the subject site. Both are full access driveways
from E. Lanark Street located at the south property line. Staff is supportive of one access to E.
Lanark Street. Staff has concerns about possible traffic conflicts with two drive accesses in
such close proximity to Eagle Road. Staff also believes that the proposed cross access to the
adjacent lot eliminates the need for multiple driveways to Lanark.
3. Landscaping: The applicant has not provided a landscape plan for review at the rezoning stage.
However, Staff will require the applicant to provide landscaping per the UDC standards
including, but not limited to, within the parking area, and the buffering adjacent to Eagle Road
and Lanark Street.
Per UDC ll-3B-9B, all developing industrial lands must provide a landscape buffer along any
boundary adjacent to commercial and residential districts. The industrial property to the west
has been considered existing for years and, for that reason, Staff believes should not be required
to bear the responsibility to install the buffer. Staff does believe that, although not required by
Ordinance, a minimum 10-foot wide landscape buffer is warranted between the subject
commercial property and the lot to the west, and said buffer should be installed by the
applicant.
4. Parking: The applicant's concept plan proposes 76 parking stalls. Only 25 parking stalls are
required by Ordinance. UDC Table 11-3C-l requires 9O-degree parking stalls to be 19-feet
long, adjacent to 25-foot wide drive aisles. UDC ll-3C-5B-4 allows parking stall dimensions to
be reduced by 2 feet in length if 2 feet is added to the width of adj acent sidewalk or landscape
area. Compact stalls may be reduced in depth by an additional two feet. UDC 11-3A-17A
requires all sidewalks to be at least S-feet wide.
5. Design Review Standards: Eagle Road is designated as an entryway corridor_ UDC 11-3A-
19D5 requires all structures on property adjacent to an entryway corridor to obtain
administrative design review approval. All future building(s) on this site will be subject to
design review. Staff is supportive of the conceptual elevation for the front fac;ade. which is to
PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR 1HE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 28,2006
face Eagle Road. However, the north and south faQades of the proposed structure will also be
highly vi!'lihle from Eagle Road, and Staff will require elevations for these at the time of
administrative design review.
A. Architectural Character:
i. Facades: Facades visible from a public street shall incorporate modulations in the
fa~ade, roof line recesses and projections along a minimum of twenty percent (20%)
ofthe length of the facade.
ii. Primary public entrance(s): The primary building entrance(s) shall be clearly defined
by the architectural design of the building. Windows, awnings, or arcades shall tut~l ~
minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the facade length facing a public street.
lll. Roof lines: Roof design shall demonstrate two or more of the following: a)
overhanging eaves, b) sloped roofs; c) two or more roof planes; d) varying parapet
heights; and e) comices.
iv. Pattern variations; At least two changt:lS in one or a combination of the following
shall be incorporated into the building design: color, texture, and I or materials.
v. Mechanical equipment: All ground-level and rooftop mechanical equipment shall he
screened to the height of the unit as viewed from the property line.
B. Color and Materials; Exterior building walls shall demonstrate the appearance of high-
quality materials of stone, brick, wood or other native materials. Acceptable materials
include tinted or textured masonry block, textured architectural coated concrete panels,
tinted or textured masonry block, or stucco or stucco-like synthetic materials. Smooth-
faced concrete block, tilt-up concrete panels, or prefabricated steel panels are prohibited
except as accent materials.
C. Parking Lots: No more than seventy percent (70%) of the off-street parking area for the
structure shall be located between the front fa~ade of t.he st.mcture and abutting streets,
unless the principal building(s) and / or parking is I are screened from view by other
structures, landscaping and/or berms.
D. Pedestrian Walkways:
1. A continuous internal pedestrian walkway that is a minimum of eight feet (8 ') in
width shall be provided from the perimeter sidewalk to the main building entrance.
The walkway width shall be maintained clear of any outdoor sale displays, vending
machines, or temporary structures.
ii. The internal pedestrian walkway shall be distinguished from the vehicular driving
surfaces through the use of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or bricks.
iii. Walkways at least eight feet (8') in width, shall be provided for any aisle length that
is greater than one-hundred fifty (150) parking spaces or two hundred feet (200')
away from the main building entrance.
iv. The walkways shall have weather protection (including but not limited to an awning
or arcade) within twenty of all customer entrances.
6. Certificate of Zoning Compliance: The purpose of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC)
permit is to ensure that all construction, alterations and/or the establishment of a new use
complies with all of the provisions of the UDC before any work on the structure is started
andlor the use is established (UDC 11.SB-IA). To ensure that all of the conditions of approval
listed in Exhibit B are complied with, Staff will require the applicant to obtain CZC approval
from the Planning Department prior to building construction, where all site and landscaping
improvements must be installed prior to occupancy.
b. Staff Recommendation: While Staff is supportive of rezoning without securing a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment in this instance, Staff fmds that such unconventional interpretation of the
Lanark Rezone - RZ-06-0 1 0
PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 28, 2006
Comprehensive Plan policies is only appropriate in very limited cases. For example, in the subject
case where only a minor extension of the zoning boundaries, or "bump," for a small, immediately
adjacent property. And where due consideration of the neighbors and the compatibility of
surrounding land uses should be taken into account.
Staff believes that the proposed zoning amendment will be harmonious with other adjacent
properties along Eagle Road in this area which have already, or are anticipated to develop with uses
aHowed in the C-G zone. And, based on the compliance of the proposed development with the
Unified Development Code and the general conformance with the policies and goals contained in
the Comprehensive Plan, Staff believes that rezoning the subject property from I.L to C~G is
warranted.
Therefore, Staffreconunends approval of the proposal (RZ-06-010) subject to thc conditions listro
in Exhibit B. On November 2. 2006. the Meridian Planninll and Zonin2 Commission voted to
recommend approval of the subiect application. On November ~H. 2906. City Council
8ooroved the subiect annJlcation.
