STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
General Overview/History
The purpose of the MU-NR designation is to designate areas where new residential dwellings will
not be permitted, as residential uses are not compatible with the planned and/or existing uses in
these areas. For example,MU-NR areas are used near the City's Wastewater Resource Recovery
Facility and where there are heavy industrial or other hazardous operations that need to be
buffered from residential.
The Applicant proposes to develop the site with an indoor recreation facility(i.e. an indoor gym)
within a portion of an existing industrial building. The building was approved under an
administrative application(A-2021-0083). This property is part of the larger McNelis Subdivision
that was annexed in 2004 with a Development Agreement(DA) and a preliminary plat; a final
plat was later approved and recorded that included this property as Lot 4,Block 2,McNelis
Subdivision. The DA was later amended in 2011.
Although indoor recreation facilities are not standard uses within industrial zones,they may be
considered through a Conditional Use Permit. As such,the Planning and Zoning Commission
should evaluate whether continued expansion of commercial uses within industrial areas remains
appropriate.
In the surrounding area,there is a church, flex space,other warehousing uses, employment,
and vehicle repair uses. With the addition of the proposed indoor gym next to existing
industrial and commercial users, Staff believes the proposed indoor recreation facility should
complement other uses in the surrounding area and provide opportunities for residents to
recreate. However, staff have concerns that the continued expansion of commercial businesses
into industrial spaces could lead to impacts on employment in the city.
In addition,the applicant has indicated that the proposed hours of operation are intended to be
twenty-four(24)hours a day, seven(7) days a week. The development agreement requires the
hours of operation to be restricted to seven(7)am to ten(10)pm unless otherwise approved
with a conditional use permit. Due to this,the applicant is also requesting that the hours of
operation be extended to allow for operation twenty-four(24)hours a day, seven(7) days a
week.
It is also important to note that this building was constructed to Industrial parking standards.
The applicant has indicated his gym has about 220 members with roughly fifteen(15)
members at any one time. This has raised some concerns with staff, as parking may be an issue
if not addressed. To address this,the applicant has received approval from the neighboring
church to use up to twenty-five(25)parking spaces. While this helps provide parking, it does
not provide a clear path for residents to get to the business. Staff is recommending a pedestrian
connection be installed to allow gym users to get from the church site to the gym.
Additionally, after conversations with the applicant,revisions were made to add an additional
thirteen(13)parking stalls on the west and southwest portions of the site to better
accommodate the use that is proposed. The combination of this parking on site and off site
(Church Parking)will provide adequate parking in the event that the gym grows.
Therefore, Staff finds the proposed use should be an appropriate use in the MU-NR FLUM
designation for the reasons noted above.
"Plan for an appropriate mix of land uses that ensures connectivity,livability, and
economic vitality."(3.06.02)
The proposed use will contribute to the mix of uses in this area and should add to the
livability and economic vitality of the community.

CASE NO(S). H-2025-0023 ■
Page 7
Monitor and adjust the amount and mix of industrial, commercial, and office areas needed
to meet the employment needs of the City."(3.06.0113)
The proposed use will contribute to the mix of uses in this area; however, the desire for
industrial and employment uses is diminished.
"Encourage and support mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of being able to live,
shop, dine,play, and work in close proximity,thereby reducing vehicle trips, and
enhancing overall livability and sustainability."(3.06.02B)
The subject mixed-use area currently contains office, church,flex space, warehousing, and
vehicle repair. The proposed use will provide another recreational opportunity in close
proximity to residential neighbors to the south and east, thereby reducing vehicle trips and
enhancing the livability of the area.
"Preserve the industrial base within designated industrial land use areas by discouraging
non-industrial uses and focusing on light manufacturing, distribution, flex-space, and base-
employment."(3.07.01 D)
The proposed use is a non-industrial use requesting a CUP to occupy an industrial land
use area approved for industrial space. Staff have some concerns about approving
another commercial use for an indoor recreation facility(indoor gym) within the vicinity
proposed for industrial uses. If approved, this would be the first such use in this building
but one of many in the city.
"Provide,partner, and preserve public and private indoor and outdoor recreation amenities
for a diverse range of physical activities."(5.01.01C)
The proposed indoor recreation facility offers opportunities for recreation through a
personal training gym to the public and will contribute to the range of physical activities
offered in the City.

Acreage 2.49 acres
Site Development and Use Analysis
Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The proposed use of an indoor recreation facility(indoor gym)is a conditional use in the I-L
zoning. The I-L zoning and FLUM designation is meant to provide opportunities for low-
impact business areas which typically includes professional offices,research and
development, etc. This use adheres to Policy 3.07.02B,which promotes a mix of land uses
that ensures connectivity, livability, and economic vitality. While industrial uses are intended
in the area, an indoor recreation facility can be approved through a conditional use permit.
The applicant has indicated that the gym has approximately 220 members,with about fifteen
(15)members in the gym at any given time. This raises some concerns for staff as a gym with
this many members may create parking issues. However,with the shared parking and
additional onsite parking being installed, staff believe the proposed use can work effectively
on the site. There will also be no outdoor activity from the gym. In addition,the applicant has
CITY OF MERIDIAN FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
CASE NO(S). H-2025-0023
Page 8 F881
indicated that the proposed hours of operation are intended to be twenty-four(24)hours a
day, seven(7)days a week. The development agreement requires the hours of operation to be
restricted to seven(7)am to ten(10)pm unless otherwise approved with a conditional use
permit. Due to this,the applicant is also requesting the hours of operation be extended to
allow for operation twenty-four(24)hours a day, seven(7)days a week.
Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The proposal meets the dimensional standards for setbacks, landscape buffers,landscape
requirements and maximum building height.
Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3):
A. General standards.
1.All outdoor recreation areas and structures that are not fully enclosed shall maintain a
minimum setback of one hundred(100)feet from any abutting residential districts. The
playing areas of golf courses, including golf tees, fairways, and greens, are an exception to
this standard.No outdoor recreation areas are proposed; all activities will take place within
the building.
2.No outdoor event or activity center shall be located within fifty(50)feet of any property
line and shall operate only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.No outdoor events
or activities are proposed.
3.Accessory uses including,but not limited to,retail, equipment rental,restaurant and
drinking establishments,may be allowed if designed to serve patrons of the use only.Noted.
4.Outdoor speaker systems shall comply with section 11-3A-13, "outdoor speaker systems",
of this title.No outdoor speakers are proposed.
B.Additional standards for swimming pools.Any outdoor swimming pool shall be completely
enclosed within a six-foot nonscalable fence that meets the requirements of the building code
in accord with title 10,chapter 1, of this Code.Not applicable.
C.Additional standards for outdoor stage or musical venue. Any use with a capacity of one
hundred(100) seats or more or within one thousand(1,000)feet of a residence or a residential
district shall be subject to approval of a conditional use permit.No outdoor stage or musical
venue is proposed.
D.[Outdoor lighting.] Outdoor lighting, including lighted fields, designed for the site shall
comply with Section 11-3A-11, "outdoor lighting," of this title. These standards may be
modified through the approval of a conditional use permit.Noted.
Design Standards Analysis
Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
Landscape buffers along streets
The site has already been approved under permit A-2021-0083 and no additional
landscaping improvements will be required.
Parking lot landscaping
CITY OF MERIDIAN FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
CASE NO(S). H-2025-0023
Page 9 89
The site was previously approved under Permit A-2021-0083. However,with the
proposed addition of thirteen(13)parking spaces,the applicant is required to submit a
Certificate of Zoning Compliance application.
Staff has reviewed the site and notes that, should the gym vacate the premises in the
future,the space could potentially be converted back to industrial use. In such a scenario,
parking lot landscaping on the western portion of the site may hinder truck access and
circulation.
As a result, staff recommends that the applicant seek alternative compliance for the
parking lot landscaping requirement and relocate the required trees to other suitable areas
on the site.
Landscape buffers to adjoining uses
The site has already been approved under permit A-2021-0083 and no additional
landscape buffer improvements will be required.
Tree preservation
The site has already been approved under permit A-2021-0083 and no additional tree
preservation improvements will be required.
Parking (UDC 11-3C):
Nonresidential parking analysis
A minimum of one(1) off-street parking space is required per 2,000 square feet of gross
floor area for industrial buildings.Based on the 37,057-square-foot multi-tenant building,
19 parking spaces are required. The site currently provides 25 spaces,exceeding the UDC
requirements for the I-L zoning district.
However,the proposed use,an indoor recreation facility, is considered a commercial use,
which requires one (1)off-street parking space per 500 square feet of gross floor area. In
response to staff s request,the applicant has proposed thirteen(13) additional on-site
parking stalls, increasing the total to thirty-eight(38).Additionally,the applicant has
secured an agreement with the adjacent church to utilize up to twenty-five(25)of their
parking spaces. This results in a total of sixty-three(63)available parking spaces.
While the entire building is 37,057 square feet,the proposed tenant space is 13,043
square feet. Staff believes that the combination of on-site parking and the shared parking
agreement will provide sufficient parking for the proposed gym use while continuing to
accommodate the existing industrial tenants.
The applicant shall provide a recorded copy of the shared parking agreement and depict
the additional parking spaces with the certificate of zoning compliance.
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 depicted on the plans submitted with this application that meet the requirements.
Building Elevations (Comp Plan, Architectural Standards Manual):
The approved building elevations and perspectives were submitted for the industrial building
as shown in Section IX.D.As stated throughout this report, these elevations have already
CITY OF MERIDIAN FINDINGS OF FACT,CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DECISION&ORDER
CASE NO(S). H-2025-0023
Page10 Fol
been approved through the administrative process and the building is already existing. The
submitted elevations are for supplementary purposes only.
Transportation Analysis
Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
One(1)driveway access is depicted and approved on the overall site plan via W.Nelis Drive
(local street).ACHD and the City has approved the location of the access driveway with
administrative approval for the overall industrial building(A-2021-0083).
Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5):
The multi-use pathway along Five Mile Creek has already been constructed with the
administrative approval for the overall site(A-2021-0083)
Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
There are existing 5-foot wide attached sidewalks along W.Nelis Drive that meet UDC
standards. Any damaged curb, gutter, or sidewalk is required to be replaced.
In addition,due to the cross-parking agreement with the church, staff is recommending a
pedestrian connection from the church parking lot to the gym entrance to promote pedestrian
connectivity.
Services Analysis
Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15):
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided as set forth in UDC 11-
3A-15.
Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
Storm drainage is required to comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-18.
Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
Both the Plan and the UDC establish policy and regulations for extending and connecting to
City utilities. Goal 3.03.03G of the Plan mandates urban infrastructure be provided for all
new developments,including curb and gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities.All
utilities for the proposed development are required to be installed in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-21.
