SUBJECT: Jabil East Comprehensive Flan Map Amendment and Rezone
• CPA-07-004
Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to change approximately 34 acres
from Industrial to Commercial on the Future Land Use Map, by the Joint
School District No. 2
• RZ^07-005
Rezoning of 9.21 acres from I-L (Light Industrial) to C-G (General Retail &
Service Commercial)
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The subject Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CFA) application proposes to amend the Future Land Use
Map of the Comprehensive Flan. The Applicant is proposing to change the existing "Industrial"
designation to the "Commercial" designation for one 34-acre parcel. The property is located on the west
side of Locust Grove Road at 1303 E. Central Drive in Section 18, Township 3 North, Range 1 East,
B.M., and is currently referenced as Lot 1, Block 1, Jabil Subdivision. The property currently lies within
Meridian City limits and is zoned I-L (Light Industrial).
Concurrent with the CPA request, the Applicant has applied for rezoning (RZ) of 9.21 acres to C-G
(General Retail and Service Commercial). This rezone is contingent upon approval of the concurrent map
amendment (CFA-07-004) to "Commercial." This amendment would not change the Future Land Use
Map designation for any other parcels or for any other features of the Comprehensive Flan.
Per Idaho Code, Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments are allowed only every six months. It has been
more than six months since the Comprehensive Flan Future Land Use Map has been amended. The
previous recommendation of an amendment to the land use map by the Commission occurred on
September 21, 2006. This time frame exceeds the minimum six month requirement between the last and
the current map amendment request.
2. SUMIVIARY RECOMMENDATION
Staff has provided detailed analysis of the applications below. Staff supports the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and rezone requests. Staff believes "Commercial" Land Use Map designation and zoning
designations for the subject property would be in the best interest of the City. Therefore, Staff is
recommending approval of the subject CPA and RZ applicatious.
The Commission should note that several other Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments, also scheduled
be heard on April S, 2007, may require additional time for public testimony and Commission discussion.
Therefore, said CPA proposals may be continued to the hearing date of April 19, 2007. As the
Commission may recommend amendments to the land use map component of~the Comprehensive Plan to

d. History of Previous Actions: On April 6, 1999, City Council granted approval for annexation
and zoning (AZ-99-001) of approximately 55.79 acres to I-L (Light Industrial). No development
application accompanied said application at that time. In February of 2004, Council approved a
Preliminary /Final Plat to create two building lots far the Jabil Subdivisiozx. Lot 2, Block 1, totals
appraxirnately 19 acres. Lot 1, Block 1, totals approximately 34 acres and is the subject of this
Comprehensive Playa Amendment application.

direct access to Locust Grove Road exists, none is proposed, and none is approved for this
property. Upon rezoning and platting of Lot 2, Block 1, of the Jabil Subdivision, the parcel will
have cross-access, thus providing additional means for access to the subject site.
6. COMMENTS MEETING

present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department,
and the Meridian Public Works Department. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions
Jabal East -CPA-07-005 & RZ-07-005 Page 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APIUL 5, 2007
in the attached Exhibit B. However, because this is only a RZ and CPA....informational only.
7. CITY OF MERIDIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
This property is currently designated "Industrial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The
Joint School District No. 2 is requesting a map amendment to "Commercial" far the subject property. The
requested "Commercial" designation is meant to provide a full range of commercial and retail uses to
serve area residents and visitors. Idaho Code b7-6508 states that "the plan shall consider previous and
existing conditions, trends, desirable goals and objectives, or desirable future situations for each planning
component." Staff has reviewed the subject CPA and RZ applications and offers the analysis and
recommendations contained herein for the Commission and Council's consideration. Please see Exhibit C
for detailed analysis of the required findings for a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment.
Staff finds the following Goals, Objectives, and Action items contained in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan
to be applicable to this application (Staff analysis is in italics below policy):
• Chapter VII, Page 105 -Definition of "Camrnercial":
"This designation that will provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents
and visitors. Uses may include retail, wholesale, service, and office uses; multi-family residential;
as well as appropriate public uses such as government offices. Within this land use category,
specific zones may be created to focus commercial activities unique to their locations. These
zones may include neighborhood commercial uses focusing on specialized service for residential
areas adjacent to that zone."
The highly visible location of this property on Interstate 84, Locust Grove Road and E. Central
Drive, and the existing commercial zoning to the north, makes this property a good candidate for
cammercial uses rather than industrial uses.
• Chapter V, Goal III, Objective D, Action 5, Page 43 -Require all commercial and industrial
businesses to install and maintain landscaping.
The site is already improved with street buffer
Road, and the interstate; internal parking lot
adjacent to vehicular use areas.
landscaping on E. Central Drive, Locust Grove
!andscaping,~ and perimeter landscaping thut is
• Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B, Page 109 -Plan for a variety of commercial and retail
opportunities within the Impact Area.
Staff believes that the potential education institution and associated office uses do, in fact,
contribute to the variety of services located within the area and will complement the existing and
anticipated commercial uses adjacent to the site.
• Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1, Fage 111 -Ensure that adequate public services,
including transportation, for existing and future development are provided.
City services are currently available to the subject property.
• Chapter VII, Goal N, Page 112 -Encourage compatible uses to minimize conflicts and
maximize use of land.
Staff believes that the proposed "Commercial" land use designation of this property will be
compatible with the existing C-G zoned properties north of the site.
• Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective D, Action 5, Page 114 -Require appropriate landscaping and
buffers along transportation corridors (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.).
The property is presently fully developed, and a 20 foot wide street buffer already installed along
E. Central Drive, a commercial collector road. Additionally, all existing perimeter landscaping

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 5, 2007
adjacent to Locust Grove Raad and I-$4, as previously approved with construction of the .Iabil
Circuits building, complies with the UDC requirements.
9. STATE REQUIRED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
Idaho's counties and cities are required by law, Idaho Code 67-6508, to prepare, implement, review, and
update a comprehensive plan which outlines goals and policies for land use. Fourteen elements which
must be addressed in the plan are listed in the Code. It is the detailed ordinances that then spell out how
these policies are to be achieved.
The order in which the following policies are presented implies no order or priority.
a. Community Design
The purpose of this element is to ensure a pattern of planned growth resulting in orderly and
attractive developments within the City of Meridian. As is applicable to the subject application,
the City should encourage the clustering of commercial development at or near existing arterials
and collector roads and require landscaping of new development to provide beautification. All
future construction and establishment of new uses on the subject site will require Certificates of
Zoning Compliance. Staff will ensure that future development on this site will comply with any
and all applicable design and landscaping standards, as provided for through the Unified
Development Code.
b. Population
The City of Meridian must ensure that population growth is accommodated in an orderly pattern.
Residential and commercial developments must be easily served by City infrastructure and public
services. Staff believes that all necessary services are currently available to the subject site.
c. Housing
The City of Meridian is charged with ensuring adequate and attractive living environment which
meets the needs of City residents of different ages, family sizes, lifestyles, and income levels. As
the site is currently designated for industrial uses, and proposed for commercial uses, Staff finds
that this element is not applicable to the subject application.
d. Economic Development
Meridian's economic base has been gradually shifting over the last 20 years from afarming-based
economy to a retail, service, and manufacturing-based economy. During this time, local policy
with regard to the types of lands needed to support the economic and employment needs of the
community has also changed. The 2002 Comprehensive Plan forecasts the need to continually
adjust the provision of commercial lands in order to gradually broaden economic opportunity
throughout the City.
In the past, the subject parcel was identified as appropriate for industrial uses to take advantage of
what was seen as a boom in manufacturing and development. However, Staff believes the
increased commercial development within the immediate area has deemed this site more
appropriate for retail, service, and office uses now.
e. Public Services, Facilities, and Utilities
The property involved in this request has access to existing public facilities and services that are
sized at commercial levels.
f. School Facilities and Student Transportation
The purpose of this element is to direct new residential development to areas with adequate
school facilities and student transportation. Therefore, the subject application does not apply here.
Jabil East -CPA-07-005 & RZ-07-0OS Page 5
C1TY OF MERIDIAN FLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPQRT FOR THE HEARING DATE QF APR1L 5, 2007
However, the Commission and Council should note that the Applicant requests a CPA and
rezoning of the property from an industrial designation to a commercial designation to allow for
educational uses. As previously mentioned, the property is proposed for a new high school,
with associated classroom and office spaces, and may possibly house a university extension. This
will contribute to the growing needs of the City of Meridian for additional school facilities and
accessible higher education.
g. Transportation
The purpose of this element is to promote an efficient and safe transportation system within the
City. Staff believes the proposed plan amendment will not negatively impact transportation
within the City of Meridian. E. Central Drive is an existing commercial collector, designed to
accommodate the increased road traffic that will be generated from retail, service, and office uses.
h. Natural Resources
The purpose of this element is to promote conservation of areas of natural significance, where
appropriate. Staff does not believe that the use of this property, as proposed, will significantly
pollute or degrade the natural environment.
The Applicant should be aware that protection and preservation all natural vegetation along the
Ninemile Creek is required, as this is critical habitat for many animal species /wildlife.
i. Special Areas
The subject amendment does not directly impact any lands zoned for open spaces, natural
resources, or scenic areas, nor does the parcel contain any known significant natural resources.
j. Hazardous Areas
The purpose of this element is to ensure regulation of development in hazardous areas, such as
floodplains, unstable slopes, etc. The subject property falls within Flood Zones "X" and "AE" as
referenced on FEMA Firm Panel 16001 C0232H, dated February 19, 2003. The FEMA map
shows the location of Nine Mile Creek crossing the southwest corner of this lot, Lot 1, Block 1,
Jabil Subdivision. During the development of the site for Jabil Circuit, Inc., the original owner of
both Jabil properties, Ninemile Creek was relocated to its current location along the southern and
western boundaries of Lot 2.
k. Recreation
Recreation resources within Meridian include seven City parks totaling approximately 65 acres.
The City is in process of developing new park facilities. The City also maintains several
pathways. This site is not formally designated for recreational purposes save amulti-use pathway
which crosses the subject property.
The property owner should be aware that the City intends to require a pathway at this location
with any future development application such as rezoning or re-subdivision of this property.
Therefore, the Applicant should contact the Meridian Parks and Recreation Department to
coordinate the location and dedication of the multi-use pathway on-site.
1. Land Use
The policies of this element are presented in the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The Map is
a graphic representation of the policies and goals of Meridian's Comprehensive Plan. The Map
has been prepared to identify suitable areas for future residential, commercial, and industrial
development. The Map is designed to be a projection of growth patterns for the City. Therefore,
the Map is to be used as a guide for decisions regarding request for land use changes. Staff
believes the commercial development within the immediate area has deemed this site more
Jabil East -CPA-07-005 & RZ-07-005 Page 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 5, 2007
appropriate for retail, service, and office uses, thus justifying the request the land use change to
"Commercial."
m. Implementation
The City provides the necessary staff and facilities to administer and enforce the policies and
goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The City of Meridian Planning Department will administer the
Comprehensive Flan and its policies, under the direction and supervision of the Meridian City
Council. The Planning & Zoning Commission is also authorized by the Council to review,
approve and make recommendations on proposals affecting the public's interest in land use.
n. Property Rights
The purpose of this element is to ensure that the land use policies, restrictions, conditions, and
fees do not unconstitutionally violate private property rights, and establish a consistent review
process that enable the city to ensure that any proposed actions will not result in an
unconstitutional taking of private property without due process of law. Staff believes that the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map change would not unconstitutionally deprive the property
owner of economically viable uses of the subject property, as the request was initiated by said
owner, the Joint School District No. 2.
10. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE ANALYSIS
The Applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned from I-L to C-G. If the concurrent CPA
application is approved and the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation is amended to
"Commercial," the requested rezone to the C-G zoning district would comply with the new Map
designation for this property.
The Commission and Council should note that the subject application proposes rezoning of approximately
9 acres, and includes the northernmost portion of the Jabil building. The Joint School District No. 2 has
submitted a separate rezone application for remaining ~24 acres of property, which is scheduled to be
heard before the Coxiunission on May 17, 2007.
The rezone legal description prepared by Travis P. Foster, PLS, dated March 30, 2007, is accurate and
meets the requirements of the City of Meridian and State Tax Commission.
All future uses on this property should 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, and should be constructed in
accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development.
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC 11-2B-2 lists uses that are principal permitted (P),
accessory (A), conditional (C), or prohibited (-) within the proposed C-G district. The proposed
offices and educational institution to be located on-site are principally permitted within the C-G
zone. (See UDC Table 11-2B-2 for a complete list of allowed uses in the C-G zone.)
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the commercial districts is to provide for the retail
and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Four (4)
districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial 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.
c. Special Considerations
1. Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-3D2 and Idaho Code § 65-6711A provides the City
the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with
the City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. As there are no issues
regarding rezoning of the subject property which necessitate a Development Agreement, Staff
Jabil East -CPA-07-005 & RZ-07-005 Page 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF APRIL 5, 2007
believes that a DA is not required in this instance. All applicable conditions regarding the
development of this property are contained in the rezoning approval.
d. Access: Per the conditions of approval for final plat, no direct access o I-84 or Locust Grove is
permitted. Additional accesses to E. Central Drive shall be at the discretion of the Ada County
Highway District.
e. Landscaping: No landscaping improvements are necessary at this time, as all applicable
landscaping requirements have previously been met. Any future development or change in use on
the subject site may require installation of additional landscaping. Staff will evaluate this at the
time of submittal for Certificate of Zoning Compliance.
f. Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): The Applicant shall be responsible to obtain a CZC
permit from the Planning Department for all new construction or a change in use on the site prior
to issuance of building permits.
11. RECOMMENDATION
City Staff supports the subject CPA and RZ applications, as proposed. Staff recommends approval of
the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to the "Commercial" land use
designation and rezone the subject property to C-G, as presented in the staff report far the hearing
date of April 5, 2007.

the City of Meridian.
1.2 The Applicant should comply with all UDC requirements.
1.3 The Applicant shall dedicate amulti-use pathway on-site; location to be determined by the
Meridian Parks and Recreation Department.
1.4 The Applicant should comply with all previous requirements of this site associated with

Subdivision. Staffls failure to cite specific ordinance provisions or terms of the Jabil Subdivision
does not relieve the Applicant of responsibility for compliance.

2.1 All entrance drive aisles shall have a turning radius of 28' inside and 48' outside radius.
Coordinate with the Meridian Fire Department to locate and subsequently fix the portions of the
parking lot which do not meet this standard.
