A. Findings of Fact
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 152 additional vehicle trips per day (10
existing) based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
2. Impact Fees: The impact fee rate from the fee tables for this use (Light Industrial) is $1,427 per
thousand square feet of gross building area, based on the impact fee ordinance in effect at this time.
NOTE: Schools are currently exempt from impact fees.
3. Traffic Impact Study: A traffic impact study was not required with this application.
4. Site Information: The site is currently vacant. The City of Meridian has approved a variance to
perform a lot split on the existing 40-acre site. As a result of the lot split there is the subject site, 28-
acres and a 12-acre parcel that is anticipated to be a sanitary service facility in the future. The
applicant has discussed access locations with District staff and this report analyzes both of the
proposed access into the entire 40-acres. The subject application, MCUP02-046 is for the
transportation facility only.
5. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
a. North: Railroad tracks/Single-family homes (Merrywood Subdivision)
b. South: Single-family home (future church site)

7. Roadway Improvements Adjacent To and Near the Site
Franklin Road is currently improved with two lanes (no center turn lane) with no curb, gutter or
sidewalk abutting the site. There is sidewalk on Linder Road just to the east of the site abutting
Caferelli Subdivision.
8. Existing Right-of-Way
There is currently 60-feet of right-of-way (30-feet from centerline) for Franklin Road abutting the site.
2
9. Existing Access to the Site
Access to this site is currently not delineated.
10. Site History
ACHD has not reviewed this site in the recent past.
11. Five Year Work Program
Franklin Road, from Meridian Road to Eagle Road, is currently in the Five Year Work Program for
improvements in 2004. Linder Road, from Franklin Road to Ustick Road is currently in the Five Year
Work Program for improvements in 2007.
12. other Development in Area
In June of 2000, ACHD reviewed and approved a 3-lot industrial subdivision on the northwest corner
of Franklin Road and Linder Road. Caferelli Subdivision (previously approved as MSPR-24-99) was
granted an access to Franklin Road located approximately 21 O-feet east of the subject site's west
property line. The applicant of Caferelli Subdivision was also required to dedicate 4B-feet of right-of-
way for Franklin Road and construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk abutting the site.
B. Findings for Consideration
1. Right-of-Way
District policy requires 96-feet of right-of-way on arterial roadways (Figure 72-F1B). This right-of-way
allows for the construction of a 5-lane roadway with curb, guller, 5-foot concrete detached sidewalks
and bike lanes.
Franklin Road is a 2-lane roadway within 6D-feet of existing right-of-way. Franklin Road is not listed in
the adopted Capital Improvements Plan, therefore, impact fees cannot be used to purchase the right-
of-way abutting the site. General funds are not available for the purchase of this right-of-way. If the
applicant chooses to dedicate the right-of-way, ACHD will not provide compensation.
2. Sidewalk
District policy requires 5-foot wide (minimum) concrete sidewalk on all collector streets (7204.6.5).
Typically, sidewalk is constructed in its ultimate location 2-feet within the new ACHD right-of-way. If
the applicant dedicates an additional 18-feet of right-of-way then sidewalk can be construct in the
proper location. If the applicant chooses not to dedicate right-of-way, then the sidewalk cannot be
constructed in the proper location. Therefore, the applicant has three options:
1. Dedicated an additional 18-feet of right-of-way and construct a sidewalk on Franklin Road located
no closer than 41-feet from the centerline of the roadway OR
2. Construct a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on Linder Road in an easement. The face of sidewalk
shall be located a minimum of 41-feet from centerline. OR
3. Do not dedicate or construct sidewalk on Franklin Road abutting the site.
3. Access Points
District policy 7204.11.6 requires local streets on an arterial to be offset a minimum of 300-feet from
each other. District policy (Figure 72-F4 (2)) requires driveways on an arterial road to be a minimum
of 220-feet (for full access) and 150-feet (for right-inlright-out) from an uncontrolled or stop-controlled
intersection and policy (Figure 72-F5) also requires driveways on arterial streets with a speed limit of
50 MPH to be in alignment or offset a minimum of 265-feet from any other driveway.
3
The applicant has approximately 1 ,240-feet of frontage and is proposing two access points onto
Franklin Road for the subject site. Staff has previously met with the applicant's representatives about
the location, design and construction of the proposed access points because they are anticipated to
be dedicated to the public in the future. The proposed western access point/future street is
approximately 400-feet east of the existing western property line (of the entire 40-acre parcel), and in
alignment with an existing driveway to a single-family home on the south side of Franklin Road. The
proposed eastern access point/future street is located near the west property line, approximately 780-
feet from the proposed western access point and approximately 250-feet from an existing driveway to
a single-family home on the south side of Franklin Road (future church site). The proposed access
points meet District policy and should be approved with this application. In accordance with District
policy, stub streets to the undeveloped parcels abutting this site (west) may be required upon review
of a future application for this site.
Graveled access points abutting public streets create maintenance problems due to gravel being
tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy, the applicant should be required to pave
the access point(s) at least 3D-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of Franklin Road and
install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway edge
Street name and stop signs are required for roads. The signs may be ordered through the District at
the cost of $240. Verification of the correct. aooroved name of the road is reauired.
ACHD does not make any assurances that a private road that is a part of an application will be
accepted as a pUblic road if such a request is made in the future; Substantial redesign and
reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for pUblic ownership and
maintenance.
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway(s) to ACHD:
. Dedicate a minimum of 54-feet of right-of-way for the road.
. Construct a 40-foot street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on
each side of the street.
. Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements (contact District staff for more
information).
C. Site Specific Conditions of Approval
1. The applicant may construct a drivewaylfuture street on the east property line, as proposed.
Pave the driveway/street a minimum of 30-feet into the site beyond the edge of pavement of
Franklin Road and install pavement tapers with 15-foot radii abutting the existing roadway
edge. If the roadway is to be dedicated to the public it should be constructed as a 40-foot
street section with curb, gutter and 5-foot wide sidewalks. In addition, the following
requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the driveway/street to ACHD:

Re:
Joint School Dist. No.2 Bus Facility
City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
eRequest For a Conditional Use Pennit for a Bus Facility in an I-L Zone, by Joint
School District No.2 (File No. CUP-02-046).
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant.
These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the
Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUMMARY
The applicant, Joint School District No.2, has requested approval ofa conditional use permit for a
new bus facility, located on Franklin Road, west of Linder Road. The facility includes 350 bus parking
spaces, 456 car parking spaces, a fueling station, a service building and a 2-story administration
building. The total area of this Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approximately 20 acres, which is
generally the north half of the original40-acre parcel which was approved for a one-time lot split by
City Council in 2002. The fulllega\ parcel owned by Joint School District No.2 (resulting from the
Variance) actually contains 27,8 acres, but the 7, 8-acre flag portion is not a part of this CUP
application.
The Applicant proposes to construct two new private access roads from Franklin Road, a primary
access on the east boundary and a secondary access near the center of the 40-acre parcel. ACHD has
recommended approval
The Applicant is also proposing a waiver/variance from two landscape ordinances:
1. Franklin Road landscape buffer (delay improvements until the southern portion of the parcel is
developed)
2. 5-foot perimeter landscape buffer (reduce the number of required trees)
L9CATION & SURROIDWlNG USES
The subject property is located on the north side of Franklin Road, approximately Y, mile between
Linder and Ten Mile Roads. The following uses surround the subject property:
North - 200' railroad right-of-way (UPRR) and Merrywood Subdivision, zoned R-8.

South - Single family residential, zoned RUT (Ada County).
East - Outdoor storage facility (Martin property) and 3-lot Cafarelli Subdivision, zoned I-L
West - Single family house and vacant land, zoned I-L.
OWNER OF RECORD
The owner of record for the subject property is Ronald W. Van Auker, who has provided notarized
consent to Joint School District NO.2 to submit this application.
STANDARDS FOR CONDmONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the foUowing and may approve a conditional use permit if
they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3):
A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and aU yards, open
spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this ordinance;
Staff finds that the subject property is large enough to accommodate the required parking,
landscaping, setbacks, and other required improvements of this ordinance.
B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian
Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Industrial" and is
currently zoned "I-L". Staff finds that the requested bus facility use is a "Conditional Use"
according to MCCll-8-1. Staff finds that if the use is approved with conditions by the
Commission and the Council, particularly to provide adequate run-off control and screening,
the use will be hannonious with the Meridian Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
C. That the design, construction, operation, and maintenance wiD be compatible with
other uses in the general neighborhood and with the existing or intended character of
the general vicinity and that such use wiD not adversely change the essential character
ofthe same area;
Staff finds that the proposed development will not adversely change the intended character of
the general vicinity. The intended use of the area south of the railroad tracks is industrial, as
are the parcels to the east and west. The existing residential uses on the north side of the
railroad may be impacted by some noise and fume generation on the subject site. It should be
noted that the majority of the bus parking is not located along the north boundary, helping to
minimize the possible impacts. The Commission and Council should review the anticipated
impacts based on testimony at the public hearing.

D. That the proposed use, ifit complies with aU conditions ofthe approval imposed, wiD
not adversely affect other property in the vicinity;
The Commission and Council should rely upon public testimony to determine if the
development will adversely affect the other property in the vicinity. Staff anticipates that the
proposed use may have an adverse effect on nearby residential properties, unless special
measures are taken to reduce impacts associated with the bus traffic.
E. That the proposed use wiD be served adequately by essential public facilities and
services such as highways, street, police. and fire protection, drainage structures. refuse
disposal, water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed
conditional nse shall be able to provide adequately any such services;
Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public
facilities and services listed above.
F. That the proposed use wiD not create excessive additional requirements at public cost
for public facilities aud services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of
the community;
Staff finds that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfure of the
community, nor would it create the need for any new facilities or services to be paid for by the
public.
G. That the proposed use will not involve activities or processes, materials, equipment, and
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general
welfare by reason of excessive production oftrafflc, noise. smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that no excessive smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result from the proposed use.
Nevertheless, noise and exhaust from the increased bus and employee car traffic (idling
engines) may have a detrimental effect on the adjacent subdivision to the south.
H. That the proposed use wiD have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so
designed as not to create an interference with traffic on surrouuding public streets;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any traffic on the
surrounding public streets as long as ACHD requirements are enforced. At full utilization of
the site, a signal may be warranted on Franklin Road to help minimize interference on
Franklin.
I. That the proposed use wiD not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural,
scenic or historic featore considered to be of major importance.

Staff finds that the Eight Mile Lateral transverses the property and is a feature that must be
protected from pollution. However, should BMP's and other mitigation methods be
exercised, the proposed use should not result in the destruction or loss of the lateral.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
A Franklin Road Landscape ButTer: Meridian City Code (MCC) 12-13-10-3 requires street
buffers of all commercial and industria1 developments and that said improvements be
completed prior to occupancy of any buildings. However, since the south end of the school
district's property is not being developed at this time, the Applicant is requesting the
improvements be delayed until a later date. If the Commission and Council agree. a specific
allowance for this we of waiver should be included as a part of any motion as Stalfis not
granted the authority within the code for such waivers.
B. Perimeter Landscaping: MCC 12-13-11-2.8. requires a 5-foot minimum perimeter
landscape strip along all interior lot lines that are adjacent to parking or other paved vehicu1ar
use areas. The proposed Site Plan does show this strip. However, sub-section C. also requires
the strip be planted with one tree per thirty-five lineal feet. The Applicant is proposing a
reduction in the number of trees (even though the Landscape Plan shows the correct number).
Staff could support a decrease in the number of required trees from one per 35 lineal feet to
one per 70 lineal feet along the south boundary and possibly the east boundary. However, we
do not support a reduction adjacent to the north boundary. If the Commission liI!rees. the
Applicant must apply for a formal Variance Drior to the City Council hearing or an alternative
agreement made as part of the CUP process.
C. Recycled Aspbalt: MCC 11-13-4.D. requires that all open off-street parking areas be paved
in accordance "with standards established by the City." The Applicant is proposing a recycled
asphalt material for the bus parking area (dotted area on the Site Plan). The Zoning Ordinance
does not define "paved." Staff has little experience reviewing standards or maintenance for
recycled asphalt material and no standards have been established for such material. We
recommend the Applicant provide more details on the aDolication. durability and penneabilitv
of the prooosed material at the public hearings and the Commission/Council make any
additional conditions necessaI)' for effective maintenance. striping. etc of this alternative
surface.
SITE SPECIFIC REOUIREMENTS

process. All landscaping shall be continuously maintained and any dead or dying vegetation
