Annexation and Zoning of 6.67 acres from R-1 (Ada County) to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial), by Ahlquist Development, LLC • PP-07-012 Preliminary plat approval of 5 commercial lots on 6.67 acres in the proposed C-G zone • PS-07-005 Application for 1 private street within the proposed Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South development SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST The Applicant, Ahlquist Development, LLC, has applied far Annexation and Zoning of 6.67 acres from R-1 (Ada County) to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) and Preliminary Plat approval of 5 commercial lots and 1 private street lot in the proposed C-G zone. The Applicant intends to develop a large office and retail center an this site that would include several office buildings and some smaller- scale commercial structures. The subject property is located near the southeast career of Franklin Road and Eagle Road / SH 55 in Section 16, Township 3 North, Range 1 East. This site is composed of multiple lots within the existing Montvue Park Subdivision (Ada County). The site contains various existing homes and associated outbuildings that will be removed /relocated at the time of development. This property is located within the City of Meridian's Area of Impact and Urban Service Planning Area. 2. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION Generally, the Planning Director is the final decision maker on Private Street applications. However, because the City Council is the final decision making body on the Annexation and Preliminary Plat applications, all of the subject applications are being combined into one staff report. The Commission must make a formal recommendation to the Council on the Annexation and Zoning and Preliminary Plat applications, as those are public hearing items. The Commission should also review and make recommendations regarding the private street application, if necessary, as that application is key to the current layout of the proposed development. The subject applications (AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005) were submitted to the Planning Department for concurrent review. Staff has provided a detailed analysis and recommended conditions of approval for the requested Annexation and Zoning, Preliminary Plat, and Private Street applications. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South Subdivision subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B of the Staff Report.

The subject application will, in fact, constitute a preliminary plat as determined by City Ordinance. By reason of the provisions of UDC 11-5, a public hearing is required before the City Council on this matter. c. Newspaper notifications published on: June 18, 2007; July 2, 2007 d. Radius notices mailed to properties within 300 feet on: June 12, 2007 e. Applicant posted notice on site by: June 25, 2007 Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-U05 PAGE 2 CITY OF .MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FQR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 5, 2007 d. LAND USE a. Existing Land Use(s): Single family rural residential b. Description of Character of Surrounding Area: This site is surrounded by various uses and zoning designations. Of note, are the St. Luke's Regional Medical Center to the south and the RC Willey complex to the north. This area is rapidly transitioning into one of the city's largest and most visible business and retail areas. c. Adjacent Land Use and Zoning 1. North: Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway, Phase I, zoned C-G 2. East: Touchmark Living Center, zoned L-O 3. South: St. Luke's Regional Medical Center, zoned L-O 4. West: Eagle Road, offices and homes, zoned L-O and R2 (Ada County) d. History of Previous Actions: In March of 2007, the Planning & Zoning Comxxxission heard a request for annexation for 22.3 acres and preliminary plat for 11 commercial lots for the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision. This property is located just north of the subject site. Originally, the applications included both the 22.3-acre and the 6.7-acre portion (the subject application) as one development. For various reasons, the Applicant chose to divide the annexation area into two parts. The subject application will complete the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway development. The Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision was granted approval subject to a development agreement. Several items included in said agreement included the allowed number and square footages of buildings and uses for the entire site (both phases). As there are two separate phases of development, two separate development agreements would normally be required; one exclusive to the first phase, Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision, with annexation and platting of that site; and one for this phase, Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South. The Commission should note that the Applicant is in the process of submitting a development agreement modification application to "clean up" the DA for the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision to outline the uses /square-footages exclusive to that phase, and also to incorporate any development agreement requirements included with the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South approval, the subject application. Condensing both development agreements into one will benefit the City and Planning Staff, as this will be easier to for Staff to regulate the allowed uses for the entire property by having only one document to refer to. e. Existing Constraints and Opportunities 1. Public Works Location of sewer: This property is proposing sewer from mains in Franklin Road. Location of water: There are currently water mains in Franklin and E. Louise Drive. Issues or concerns: None. 2. Vegetation: There are some existing trees on the site that should be protected or mitigated for. 3. Floodplain: N/A 4. Canals /Ditches /Irrigation: The Snyder Lateral courses through the subject site in an east/west direction. Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005 PACE 3 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF .IDLY 5, 2007 5. Hazards: N/A 6. Proposed Zoning: C-G 7. Size of Property: 6.67 acres £ Landscaping: Width of street buffer(s): Per the Future Land Use Map, Eagle Road is designated as an "Entryway Corridor" adjacent to this site. As such, the UDC (Table 11-2B-3) requires a 35-foot wide street buffer adjacent to said roadway. The landscape plan (Sheet L1) proposes a 35-foot wide buffer along Eagle Road. Landscape buffers along streets should be either placed in a separate common lot or a landscape easement outside of the ultimate right of way line. 2. Percentage of site as open space: The UDC does not require open space or site amenities for commercial developments. 3. Other landscaping standards: Landscaping within the proposed parking lot areas should be constructed in compliance with UDC 11-3B-8. g. Proposed and Required Non-Residential Parking: One off street parking space is required for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. Also, one Type A and one Type B parking space required for the loading areas (per UDC 11-3C-8). No buildings are proposed with the subject application. Staff will monitor the square footage of each building as it is submitted for CZC approval to ensure that adequate parking is provided. h. Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access: With the approval for the 22.3-acre Gardner- Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision, the Applicant was approved for aright-in /right-out access to Eagle Road and aright-in/right-out/left-in access to I'ranklin Road. Primary access to this development will be through the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision via said accesses. Alternate access will also be available to the subject property via a private driveway at the south property line which connects to an existing street, St. Luke's Street. These access points and other access issues are further discussed in Section 10 of this report. ACRD is supportive of the proposal as long as all Site Specifie and General Requirements are met (See Exhibit B-5). 7. COMMENTS MEETING On June 1, 2007, Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and departments present included: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions as Conditions of Approval in the attached Exhibit B. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The subject property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map as "Commercial." The Comprehensive Plan defines the Commercial district as providing "a full range of commercial and retail to serve area resideuts 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 tp their locations. These zones may include neighborhood commercial uses focusing on specialized service for residential areas adjacent to that zone." The Applicant is requesting to rezone this property to C-G, which is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation for this 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 VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 -Require that development projects have planned Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005 PAGE 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THi; HEARING DATE OF JULY 5, 2007 for the provision of all public services When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands proposed to be annexed in the following manner: - The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire Department. Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire Department. - The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's Office. Once annexed, the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (1VIPD). - The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and the Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD). This service will not change. - The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will not change. - The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a result of the subject annexation. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective B -- Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area. Stafffands that the site is designated "Commercial" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Staff believes that over time, a variety of office and commercial opportunities will be provided on this site. Chapter VII, Goal I, Objective D - Encourage appropriate land uses along transportation corridors Staff~believes that the proposed development is appropriate alvng the adjoining transportation corridor (Eagle Road /SHSS and Franklin Road). This development project will be highly visible and help to define the entrance to the city. Access the SHSS is discussed in greater detail below. Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 -Ensure the ease of mobility of people and goods by implementing access control measures on major transportation corridors With the approval for the 22.3-acre Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision, the Applicant was approved.for a right-in /right-out access to Eagle Road and aright-in/right-out/left-in access to Franklin Road. Staff believes that as long as no new driveways to Eagle Road are proposed, access to this site conforms to the UDC and staff believes the potential.for traffic problems onto the aforementioned roads is minimized. Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective D, Action 5: Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridor (setback, vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.) By Ordinance, a minimum 35 foot wide landscape buffer along all entryway corridors is required. The Applicant is proposing to construct 35-foot wide street buffers along the adjacent arterial streets (Eagle Road and Franklin Raad). 9. ZONING ORDINANCE a. Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and conditional uses in the C-G zoning district. Retail stores, offices uses, and service-based industries are either principally or conditionally permitted uses within the C-G zone. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the Commercial Districts is to provide far the retail Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & P5-07-005 PAGE 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPQRT FOR THE HEARiIVG DATE OF 7ULY 5, 2007 and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Pour 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. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation ANNEXATION AND ZONING The annexation legal description submitted with the application (prepared on April 13, 2007, by Robert G. Hinckley, PLS) shows the property adjacent to the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. Concept Plan: The Applicant submitted a conceptual site plan which depicts the entire Gardner- Ahlquist Gateway development. The concept plan proposes between 492,000 - 674,000 square feet of combined office and retail space for the site. Approximately 327,000 - 466,000 square feet of said space to be located on the Phase I property, and 165,000 - 208,000 square feet on Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South, or Phase II. The majority of the property will be geared towards office uses. Staff is supportive of the focus on office space over retail at this location. The proximity to St. Luke's Regional Medical Center makes this an ideal area for medical office buildings and other professional users. Staff is also supportive of the retail element of the proposal which will help to suppprt the high daytime population that will be present with the amount of office space proposed. Also included in the concept plan is a redesigned public street network in on the subject property which was approved with the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision (Phase I). This proposed street network eliminates much of the existing loop road, Montvue Drive, and creates a more direct east-west and north-south circulation pattern through the site. Further discussion of these access issues can be found in the Preliminary Plat analysis section below. Design: This site is located in a very visible section of the City and has the potential to become one of the City's most recognizable features. The importance of this location makes quality design essential. Elevations specific to this 6.67-acre "phase," Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South, were not submitted with the subject application. However, the Applicant submitted conceptual elevations for both office and retail uses within the 22.3-acre Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision. Staff reviewed these conceptual elevations and believed they are high quality buildings. The Council also reviewed and subsequently approved these elevations for that Subdivision. Therefore, Staff recommends that adl buildings constructed on the Gardner- Ahlquist Gateway South Subdivision also be tied to the elevations approved for the Gardner- Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision. To ensure a txlinimum design standard, and as required for development along entryway corridors, all buildings within the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision (Phase I) were deemed subject to administrative design review, as defined in UDC 11-3A-19. Staff believes said requirement should also be extended to Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South, and has made this requirement a stipulation of the associated development agreement. Staff also believes a minimum. of 3 buildings, as depicted on the submitted site plan, should be required on this 6.67- acre site to ensure that a variety office and retail space is provided. Certificate of Zoning Compliance: The purpose of a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) permit is to ensure that all construction, alterations and / or the establishmezat of a new use complies with all of the provisions of the UDC before any work on the structure is started and / or the use is established (UDC 11-SB-lA). To ensure that all of the provisions in the Development Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005 PAGE 6 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 5, 2007 Agreement (see below) are complied with, Staff will require that the Applicant obtain CZC approval from the Planning Department prior to site development, where all site and landscaping improvements must be installed prior to occupancy. Development Agreement: UDC 11-SB-3D2 provides the City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement with the City of Meridian that may require some written commitment for all fixture uses. Due to the proposed uses and the visibility of this site, Staff believes that a Development Agreement is accessary to ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not negatively impact nearby properties. If the Commission or Council feels additional development agreement requirements are necessary, Staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of the developer being required. A Development Agreement (DA) will be required as part of annexing this property. Prior to annexation ordinance 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. The Applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 88$-4433 to initiate this process. 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. • The Applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with sewer and water service installation. • The following shall be the allowed uses on this property: Permitted and Accessory uses within the C-G zone. All Conditionally Permitted uses in said zone shall be subject to CUP approval. • The Applicant shall be responsible to obtain a Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) permit and administrative design review approval from the Planning Department for all new construction on the subject property. • The site shall develop generally consistent with the submitted concept plan and shall include between 165,000 - 208,000 square feet of combined office and retail space (between 492,000 - 674,000 square feet total, including the north phase). A minimum of 3 buildings shall be required on this site (11 total, including the north phase). No single building within the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South Subdivision shall exceed 100,000 square feet. • All buildings on the site shall be generally consistent with the conceptual office and retail elevations submitted with the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision. All buildings shall also be subject to the City's Administrative Design Review. • Any buildings located adjacent to Eagle Road shall have architectural elements and enhancements consistent with the submitted elevations on all facades that face Eagle Road. • Locate a minimum of two buildings (S buildings total, including the north. phase) abutting the landscape buffer along Eagle Road. • No direct access to Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South shall be allowed from Eagle Road / SH 55. • The Applicant shall obtain a recorded agreement which allows the Gardner- Ahlquist properties access to and through the private property located at the southeast corner of the Montvue Park Subdivision (Lot 2, Slock 5). Said document must also reciprocate access to said property to and through the Gardner-Ahlquist Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005 PAGE 7 CITY OF MERIDIAN 'PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 5, 2007 Gateway Subdivisions. • A continuous 3S-foot wide landscape buffer shall be constructed adjacent to Eagle Road. • The Applicant shall be responsible for the construction of a 10'-wide multi-use pathway (with a public use easement) and the installation of street lights and landscaping along Eagle Road / SH 55 that is consistent with the Eagle Road Corridor Study. • Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the subject property shall be subdivided, as proposed on the submitted Preliminary Plat. • The Applicant shall complete all required site improvements prior to obtaining Certificates of Occupancy for the proposed development. PRELIlVIINARY PLAT Staff believes that the proposed preliminary plat, prepared by Treasure Valley Engineers and dated April 13, 2007, will substantially comply with the Unified Development Code if all Conditions of Approval are complied with, as listed in Exhibit B. Access: As mentioned above, no new access points are proposed to this phase to /from Eagle Road. The primary entrances into this site will be from the north, via streets and drive aisles constructed with Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision (Phase I). ACRD Staff is generally supportive of these accesses, as proposed. The Applicant is also proposing to tie into an existing driveway access via a private street which is to be located at the southeast corner of the property. The driveway access, located on private property (Lot 2, Block 5, Montvue Park Subdivision) and not considered a street, connects with the existing St. Luke's Street for the St. Luke's Regional Medical Center. St. Luke's Street is a private street, owned and maintained by the hospital; as such, St. Luke's controls access to this street. Thus, the Applicant must receive an access ingress /egress easement from the hospital to utilize St. Luke's Street. A document, in fact, has been recorded which allows the Montvue Park properties to utilize St. Luke's Street. However, the Applicant must also be provided unrestricted access over the private property located at the southeast corner of the Montvue Park Subdivision (Lot 2, Block 5) in order to gain access to St. Luke's Street. Therefore, as Staff is unaware of a recorded document with allows such, an ingress /egress easement must be obtained by the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway development and, subsequently, recorded with the County Recorder. Said document must also reciprocate access to said private property to and through the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway developments. Prior to signature of the final plat, the Applicant should also provide documentation of a binding contract that establishes who is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the private street located on Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway South (UDC 11-3F-3B4). The private street lot shall be depicted on the face of the final plat (UDC 11-3F-3B3). Design and construction of the private street shall comply with UDC 11-3F4. The Applicant should also note that gates are prohibited on private streets (UDC 11-3F-4A4). No on-street parking should be allowed on the proposed private street. The private street should be signed as "No Parking" as per the Meridian fire Department's comments. Please see Exhibit D far the required findings for a private street. Public Street Realignment /Vacation: As part of the approval for the 22.3-acre Gardner- Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision, the Applicant was required to vacate the existing Montvue Park Subdivision public street system and create the street system that was proposed on the preliminary plat for with the Gardner-Ahlquist Gateway Subdivision. The Applicant completed the vacation process with the City in April of this year. ACRD is supportive of the proposal as long as all Site Specific and General Requirements are met. (See Exhibit B-5) Gardner-Ahlyuist Gateway South - AZ-07-010, PP-07-012, & PS-07-005 PAGE 8 CITY QF ME'RIDIAN' PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FQR THE HEARING DATE OF JULY 5, 2007 Landscaping: Staff is supportive of the proposed landscape plan prepared by Edwards Landscape Architecture, labeled Sheet L1, dated 5/16/2007, as submitted. Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: The Snyder Lateral traverses through this property. Per UDC 11-3A-6, all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals, exclusive of natural waterways, intersecting, crossing or lying adjacent and contiguous to the area being subdivided shall be tiled. Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be supplied by a year-round source of water (UDC 11-3A-15). The Applicant should be required to utilize any existing surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, asingle-point connection, to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single- point connection is used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation system should be installed to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in accordance with City Code. Fencing: The Applicant is not showing any fencing on any of the submitted plans. A detailed fencing plan should be submitted upon Application of the final plat (UDC 11-3A-7). If permanent fencing is not to be provided, temporary fencing to contain construction debris must be installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building permit. All fencing should be installed in accordance with City Code. See Exhibit B below. Refuse /Service Areas: The submitted landscape plan and preliminary plat do not depict where the refuse /service areas will be. UDC 11-3A-12 requires the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent properties and public streets. A11 future CZC applications should clearly demonstrate how this standard is met. b. Staff Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, Staff finds the Preliminary Plat application generally conforms to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Staff recommends approval of A2-07-010 and PP-07-012 (PS-07-005 optional) subject to the Conditions listed in Exhibit B and the Development Agreement as outlined in Section 10 of the staff report. 11.
