I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
A. Summary
Annexation of 9.14 acres of land with the I-L zoning district for the purpose of complying with
the terms outlined in the consent to annex agreement for the existing fencing business
(contractors yard with ancillary retail sales)in operation at the subject property.
B. Issues/Waivers
- The subject property was developed in the County and has been in operation for
approximately seven years.Because this property was developed under County
standards,there are existing site conditions that do not meet current UDC standards.
Staff has received a copy of the County's approval to document these nonconformities
over time. Staff is not requiring all of the nonconformities to be brought into
conformance at this time.
With any future site expansion or additional development,improvements may be
required based on the extent of development proposed,including construction of the
future collector roadway.As part of the original approval,the applicant was required to
reserve a 30-foot easement along the southern property boundary for preservation of
the future Town Center collector identified on the MSM.However,the applicant has
acquired additional property, and the future roadway alignment will now bifurcate the
property and requires future platting and right-of-way dedication to build the road.
C. Recommendation
Staff: Approval with a development agreement.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview and History
The subject property was approved for manufacturing facility with accessory office space,
product fabrication, assembly, outdoor storage, and retail sales in Ada County. However, since it
is annexing into the City it will considered a contractors yard with ancillary retail sales.
Ada County accepted the application on March 28th, 2019, and was approved on July 10 ',2019,
by the Board of Ada County Commissioners. However, a condition of approval was for Butte
Fence to enter into an agreement with the City of Meridian to connect with city sewer and water
services. Butte Fence entered into this agreement with the City of Meridian under instrument
number 2019-017514. In this agreement,Butte Fence was required to submit an annexation
application within sixty(60)days of the subject property being contiguous to city limits. On
September 19',2024,Butte Fence completed a property boundary adjustment in Ada County
with the parcel to the west(Parcel#S1216120750)making is contiguous with the property south
of the Rosenlof Canal(Parcel#S 1216131201). At this point in time,the city was not aware of the
subject property boundary adjustment. Once discovered,the City of Meridian sent a letter to
Butte Fence on October 8t',2025,giving the property owner until December 31 st,2025,to submit
an annexation application.Asa result,the applicant has submitted this annexation application to
comply with the terms of the water and sewer hookup agreement from 2019.
This property is designated as Mixed Employment(M-E) on the Future Land Use Map(FLUM)
contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of this designation is described by the TMISAP as an area to encourage a diversity
of compatible land uses that may include a mixture of office,research and specialized
employment areas, light industrial including manufacturing and assembly, and other
miscellaneous uses. Mixed Employment areas should provide a variety of flexible sites for small,
local or start-up businesses, as well as sites for large national or regional enterprises. Mixed
density employment will accommodate a wide variety of employers and serve as a primary
gateway to Meridian and Meridian's prosperity.
While the subject use is not primarily what the Mixed Employment designation in the TMISAP
calls for, staff is supportive of the proposed annexation with the I-L zoning district due to it being
the most appropriate zone for the existing use. Currently, approximately 5.966 acres of the 9.14
acres of land is developed or used as outdoor storage,the remaining 3.176 acres of land will
require a certificate of zoning compliance application for any expansion of the proposed use. In
addition,the placement of the east-west collector roadway has changed since the approval from
Ada County in 2019. The property owner will be required to subdivide the property and construct
the collector roadway within two(2)years of the annexation ordinance being recorded.

B. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Existing Structures/Site Improvements (UDC 11-1):
The subject property has an existing 13,000 square foot building that is used as
manufacturing and assembly with accessory retail sales, office, and showroom. At the time of
this annexation application,the applicant is not proposing an expansion of any buildings.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
■
In addition,the applicant currently has an approximately 3,000 square foot storage building
being constructed near the center of the property. This building was approved by Ada County
prior to submitting for the annexation application.
2. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
As previously noted,the subject property was approved for a manufacturing facility with
accessory office space,product fabrication,assembly, outdoor storage,and retail sales in Ada
County. The applicant is not proposing a different use with the annexation request and
intends to expand the use with the additional land acquired on the southern boundary.
However,the City of Meridian will constitute the existing use as a contractors yard with
ancillary retail sales. With the requested zoning of I-L(Light Industrial),the existing use and
proposed expansion is permitted and will be allowed to continue under UDC Table 11-2C-2.
However,there are several non-conformities with the site that do not meet UDC
requirements. This includes vegetation coverage requirements, architectural standards for the
existing building, and multi-use pathways along arterial roads. Staff is not requiring these to
be brought into conformance with this application;however,with future expansions staff will
require some of these nonconformities to be remedied or the applicant has the option of
seeking a conditional use permit to keep the non-conforming status in accord with UDC I I-
1 B-4.
3. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The I-L zoning district requires a 35' street setback,20' landscape buffer along collector
streets, 25' wide buffer along arterial streets, and allows height up to 50'. The existing
conditions of the site comply with these dimensional standards. However,with future
expansion and construction of the future collector roadway,the applicant shall submit a
Preliminary Plat and Certificate of Zoning Compliance application in compliance with the
standards listed in UDC 11-2C-3.
4. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3):
UDC 11-4-3-8: Contractors Yard
A. All structures or outdoor storage areas shall be located a minimum of one hundred(100)
feet from any residential district.
The proposed contractor's yard is located further than 100 feet from any residential district.
B. Outdoor storage areas shall comply with Section 11-3A-1411-3A-14, "outdoor storage as
an accessory use", of this title.
The applicant is proposing the outdoor storage to be screened from the public right of way
and will have a designated area on the site for it. The applicant will be required to install
fencing to screen the storage yard with the construction of the future collector roadway.At
that time, the applicant will be required to submit a certificate ofzoning compliance
application to show the type and location of the fencing.
C. The site shall not be used as a junkyard or vehicle wrecking yard as herein defined.
The applicant understands and will comply with this standard.
C. Design Standards Analysis
1. Structure and Site Design Standards (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-19):
UDC 11-3A-19 and Comprehensive Plan Goal 5.01.02D emphasize the significance of
building frontages along public streets and/or public spaces. The existing building along the
Franklin Road frontage has already been constructed so it won't meet this standard but it will
be vested as it is an existing condition for the existing use.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
■
2. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Landscape buffers along streets
A 20-foot wide landscape buffer is required on both side of the future collector, and a
25-foot wide buffer is required adjacent to arterial streets (Franklin Road). The applicant
has already installed the 25 foot buffer along Franklin Road. This existing buffer does
not meet our vegetation coverage requirements; however, due to the existing buffer
meeting the required width and trees, staff is not recommending additional vegetation
coverage. In addition, the landscaping for the future collector shall be installed at the
time the collector roadway is constructed. The applicant will be required to submit a
certificate ofzoning compliance application for these improvements.
ii. Parking lot landscaping
Landscaping is required to be provided along all parking areas per the standards listed in
UDC 11-313-8. The requirements include 5 ft. perimeter adjacent to streets and islands of
at least 50 sq. ft.per every 12 parking spaces. The applicant has already installed
landscaping meeting these requirements for the portion that is developed. Any future
development shall meet these requirements and will be analyzed with the Certificate of
Zoning Compliance.
iii. Tree preservation
With future development of the undeveloped portion of the site, a Tree Mitigation Plan
should be submitted with the Certificate of Zoning Compliance detailing all existing trees
and methods of mitigation outlined by the City Arborist before any trees are to be
removed as set forth in UDC 11-3B-1OC.5.
iv. Storm integration
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the
City's adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall
follow best management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC 11-3A-18. In
addition, any drainage swales shall meet the requirements listed in UDC 11-313-11.
v. Pathway landscaping
The proposed pathways along Franklin Road appears to include five(5) feet of
landscaping on both sides,meeting UDC requirements. The future pathways on both
sides of the future collector roadway will be required to meet this standard.
Given that the TMISAP includes on-street bike lanes,which is not the standard when ten
(10)foot multi-use pathways are present, staff has determined that if trees are placed
within the eight(8)foot parkway,the applicant may reduce the landscaping on the south
side of the multi-use pathway to five(5) feet. However, if trees are not provided in the
parkway,the full ten(10) feet of landscaping must be included,as specified in the
TMISAP (page 3-20, street section Q.
3. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
i. Nonresidential parking analysis
The subject property currently has 41 stalls for the existing business on the property. This
was approved in Ada County with project number 201900606 and exceeds the city's
parking standard of one(1) space every 2,000 square feet of gross floor area. With future
development of the site,the applicant shall provide adequate parking for any additional
square footage that is constructed.
ii. Bicycle parking analysis
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff 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.
4. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual):
The existing building was approved in Ada County under project number 201900606. The
existing building does not meet all of the standards required in Meridian Architectural
Standards Manual; however, due to it being an existing building,we are not going to require
additional design elements for the building. Any future development of the site will be
subject to the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual. This will be analyzed with a
Design Review application for future expansion.
5. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
Outdoor storage and contractor's yards require closed vision fencing when visible from
public right of way. With the extension of the collector roadway bisecting the site the
applicant will be required to fence the yard area. The entirety of the yard will be visible and
will require an 8-foot closed vision fence around the entirety of the outdoor storage. The
applicant shall install an 8-foot fence with any future applications on the southern and eastern
boundaries.
D. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Currently,the property has one access point to Franklin Road. However, as a part of future
development,the applicant will be required to construct a collector roadway in alignment
with the collector stubbed from the east.As a result,the property will be given a second
access point that will provide additional means of ingress and egress from the site. The
existing access off of Franklin Road can remain as previously approved and is proposed to be
a shared access point with the proposed development to the east.
It came to staff s attention in April of 2026 that the applicant is currently constructing an
additional storage building close to the proximity of the future collector roadway extension.
In modeling the neighboring properties proposed alignment with Butte Fences new building,
it appears there is adequate room for the road and required landscape buffer to align correctly.
2. Multiuse Pathways (UDC 11-3A-5):
The applicant currently has a 5-foot pathway along Franklin Road. When this project was
approved in Ada County,it was not ACHD's policy to have multi-use pathways along
Arterial and Collector roadways. Since the property is now annexing into the city,the
applicant shall widen the 5-foot sidewalk to a 10-foot multi-use pathway along Franklin. In
addition,there will be two(2)multi-use pathways,one(1)on each side of the future collector
roadway.
3. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
The applicant currently has a sidewalk coming from Franklin Road to the front of the store.
However,the pedestrian connection is not delineated from the driving surface at UDC 11-3A-
19 requires. Staff notes this is a nonconforming site condition and will not require the
applicant to bring this into conformance with this application.
E. Services Analysis
1. Waterways (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-6):
The Rosenlof Drain runs along the southern boundary of the site. The applicant is proposing
to leave the drain open as they will not be impeding access to the irrigation canal.
City of Meridian I Department Report 111. Staff Analysis
■
2. Pressurized Irrigation(UDC 11-3A-15):
Underground pressurized irrigation water is required to be provided to each lot within the
development as set forth in UDC 11-3A-15.
3. Storm Drainage (UDC 11-3A-18):
An adequate storm drainage system is required in all developments in accord with the City's
adopted standards, specifications and ordinances. Design and construction shall follow best
management practice as adopted by the City as set forth in UDC I I-3A-18.
4. Utilities (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-21):
As previously noted,the subject property entered into an agreement with the City of Meridian
in 2019 under Instrument#2019-017514.With future expansions and submittals urban sewer
and water infrastructure and curb,gutter, and sidewalks are required to be provided with
development.

V. FINDINGS
A. Annexation(UDC 11-5B-3E)
Upon recommendation from the commission,the council shall make a full investigation and shall,
at the public hearing,review the application. In order to grant an annexation and/or rezone,the
council shall make the following findings:
1. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the comprehensive plan;

any political subdivision providing public services within the city including,but not limited
to, school districts; and
Stafffinds that the proposed zoning amendment will not result in any adverse impact upon the
delivery of services by any political subdivision providing services to this site.
5. The annexation(as applicable)is in the best interest of city.
Stafffinds the proposed annexation and zone ofl--L to be in the best interest of the city due to
previous approvals for the property to the south and the existing use on the site.
