III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. History
The subject property was annexed in 2007 and subdivided in 2011 as a part of the Centercal
Subdivision.With the annexation application, a development agreement was approved with a
concept plan consistent with the building location as proposed.
B. General Overview
This property is designated as Mixed-Use Regional(MU-R)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The use of a drive through coffee shop(restaurant)is consistent with the comprehensive
plan for the MU-R designation.
The subject site is among a wide range of commercial uses in the Centercal Subdivision(The
Village at Meridian) and surrounding area near the intersection of Fairview Avenue and Eagle
Road. The proposed use of a restaurant with a drive-through aligns with the desired uses specified
within the Mixed-Use Regional designation in the Comprehensive Plan, as noted above. In
conjunction with the already approved retail,restaurants,recreation facilities,etc. in the broader
area,the proposed use satisfies the general Mixed-Use Regional future land use designation for
this area.
A restaurant is a permitted use in the C-G zoning district but a Tier two(2)drive through requires
a conditional use permit. The proposed restaurant and drive through are required to comply with
UDC 11-4-3-11 and 11-4-3-49.
The applicant is proposing a 910 square foot drive-through restaurant designed to accommodate
seven(7)vehicles in the stacking lane. They have indicated the intended hours of operation are
5:00 am to 11:00 pm, 7 days a week with the possibility of going 24/7 if the demand is there for
extended hours of operation. In addition,the applicant has indicated that 713rew typically has 10-
15 employees per shift with an average of 400 customers per day. The applicant's narrative states
that their business model of using"runners"instead of a traditional menu board for ordering will
speed up the process and prevent queuing from backing up into drive aisles and roads.
Staff and the Meridian Polic Department expressed concerns about overflow stacking. As a result,
the applicant provided a transportation study from a 713rew location in Santa Rosa California.
This provided data showing approximately 77 vehicle trips per hour. In addition,they included
queuing data for 12 similar 713rew locations which show the average maximum queue of 7.4
vehicles per lane with wait times varying based on employee count at each location. The
applicant also indicated in the event of an emergency,that they would have customers go into the
escape lane;however,they do not anticipate needing to do this regularly.
C. Comprehensive Plan Policies
Policy Analysis
"Encourage and support mixed-use The subject mixed-use area is currently a diverse and active

minimum 5-foot-wide sidewalk adjacent to all commercial buildings
and along the main driveways within the site.These sidewalks will
facilitate pedestrian connectivity and easy access throughout the
mixed-use development.
D. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The proposed use of a restaurant and drive-through establishment aligns well with the Mixed-
Use Reginal(MU-R)future land use designation,which supports a blend of residential,
commercial,and recreational uses. By offering service options within proximity to both
residential areas and existing commercial developments,this project contributes to the
community's overall livability and sustainability. Specifically,it adheres to Policy 3.06.02B,
which encourages and supports mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of living, shopping,
dining, and working nearby,thereby reducing vehicle trips. Additionally,the proposal is
consistent with Policy 2.09.00,which encourages creating positive,vibrant, and accessible
commercial activity centers. The establishment's location adjacent to N. Eagle Road and
within the Centercal Subdivision enhances its accessibility and supports the commercial
landscape, fulfilling the need for such amenities in the immediate and broader community.
2. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
Development of the site shall comply with the dimensional standards of the C-G zoning
district in UDC Table 11-2B-3. Staff has reviewed the proposed plans and building elevations
and they comply with the required standards.
3. Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3):
Drive-Through Establishment UDC 11-4-3-11 and Restaurant UDC 11-4-3-49:
Drive-Through Establishment: The proposed drive-through establishment is subject to the
specific use standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-11,Drive-Through Establishment.All
establishments providing drive-through service are required to identify the stacking lane,
menu, and speaker location(if applicable),and window location on the site plan. The site
plan is also required to demonstrate safe pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation on
the site and between adjacent properties. At a minimum,the plan is required to demonstrate
compliance with the following standards:
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
1) Stacking lanes have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of driveways,drive
aisles, and the public right-of-way by patrons. Designated pick-up or pull forward
parking stalls may be required if the decision-making body determines that the stacking
capacity if insufficient.
The proposed restaurant features a drive-through lane with space to queue seven (7)
vehicles along with an escape lane, outside of the drive-through lane. The drive-through
itself starts at the north side of the building and exits at the south side,facing east. The
concept plan also shows that the stacking lane is separate from the drive aisles and
parking, however, staff has some concerns about peak hour stacking as it may back out
into the private drive aisle and obstruct traffic impacting neighboring businesses.
However, the applicant meets the minimum requirements for queuing length and has
provided additional data from other locations as discussed above in Section III B.
Staff is asking the Planning and Zoning Commission to carefully consider whether the
stacking is adequate.
2) The stacking lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation lanes needed for access
and parking, except stacking lanes may provide access to designated employee parking.
The stacking lanes are separate from the circulation lanes for parking, however staff still
has concerns that vehicles could block the main entrance waiting to enter the drive-
through.
3) The stacking lane shall not be located within twenty(20)feet of any residential
district,use or dwelling;
The stacking lane is not located within 20'of any residential district or residence.
4)Any stacking lane greater than one hundred feet(100) in length shall provide for an
escape lane. Each stacking lane and designated escape lane shall have a minimum width
of ten feet(10').
The stacking lane exceeds 100'in length and an escape lane is required. An escape lane
is proposed around the entire building.
5) The site shall be designed so that the drive-through is visible from a public street, or
other readily accessible public space, for surveillance purposes.
The drive-through is located starting on the north side of the building and ending on the
south side of the building. The drive-through is visible from E. Fairview Avenue along the
southside of the building for surveillance purposes.
6) The minimum stacking lane capacity shall be six(6)vehicles per land for tier 2 or tier
3, and two(2)vehicles per land for tier 1.
The proposed tier 2 drive through has a proposed capacity of seven (7)vehicles. This
exceeds the minimum standards for code, however, staff is asking the Planning and
Zoning Commission to carefully evaluate whether this is adequate capacity given the
layout of the site.
City of Meridian I Department Report III. Staff Analysis
7)All drive-throughs shall submit a queuing exhibit demonstrating vehicle stacking per
the lane capacity standards in subsection(13)(6). Each vehicle space within the stacking
lane shall be based on a vehicle length of twenty feet(20').
The applicant has indicated the cars depicted in the drive through are 20 feet in length
and meet this standard.
Restaurant: The proposed use is also subject to the specific use standards listed in UDC 11-
4-3-49 Restaurant,which requires at a minimum, one(1)parking space to be provided for
every 250 square feet of gross floor area(see parking analysis below). If queuing and parking
are shifted as recommended by staff,the parking will move on-site and will still meet UDC
standards. The Applicant did not provide information on how many proposed indoor seats
and patio seats will be provided to accommodate customers.
E. Design Standards Analysis
1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Landscape buffers along streets

ground coverage material.These details shall be provided
with the certificate of zoning compliance application.
ii. Parking lot landscaping
Landscaping is required to be provided along all parking areas per the standards listed in
UDC 11-313-8. The majority of the parking is existing as a shared parking for the Village
at Meridian; however, the applicant is removing three(3)parking stalls and is proposing
to put in a new planter island which meets the requirement for parking lot landscaping.
In addition, the applicant has provided seven (7)feet of hangover.
iii. Tree preservation
Per UDC 11-3B-10,Mitigation shall be required for all existing trees four-inch caliper or
greater that are removed from the site with equal replacement of the total calipers lost on
site up to an amount of one hundred(100)percent replacement(Example: Two (2)ten-
inch caliper trees removed may be mitigated with four 5-inch caliper trees, five(5)four-
inch caliper trees, or seven(7)three-inch caliper trees).
If any existing trees are removed during construction they shall be mitigated for. The
applicant shall provide mitigation calculations with the submittal of the certificate of
zoning compliance and design review application.

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. The applicant
has provided one (1) bicycle parking space meeting the UDC standard for bicycle
parking.
3. Building Elevations (Architectural Standards Manual):
Goal 2.09.03A of the Comprehensive Plan highlights establishing distinct, engaging identities
within commercial and mixed-use enters through design standards to integrate commercial,
multifamily,and parking areas with existing neighborhoods. In response,the developer has
submitted conceptual building elevations for the proposed structure as shown in Section
VII.C. Building materials consist of stucco, stone veneer, aluminum panels, and glazing.
The conceptual building elevations appear to meet guidelines set forth in the Architectural
Standards Manual. However,final building design will be subject to the commercial design
guidelines and will be reviewed with the design review application.
F. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Access is proposed off a commercial drive aisle that connects to E. Fairview Avenue. This
access point leads into the parking lot of the Village at Meridian and then into the 7 Brew
drive through. Staff has concerns that at peak hours/visit times for the Village at Meridian
that existing parking may have conflicts with stacking if it extends beyond the seven(7)cars
shown in the stacking lane.
As a result of these concerns,the applicant provided a transportation study from a 713rew
location in Santa Rosa California. This provided data showing approximately 77 vehicle trips
per hour. In addition,they included queuing data for 12 similar 713rew locations which show
the average maximum queue of 7.4 vehicles per lane with wait times varying based on
employee count at each location. The applicant also indicated in the event of an emergency,
that they would have customers go into the escape lane;however,they do not anticipate
needing to do this regularly. If this becomes a regular occurrence,the applicant would need to
apply for a Tier 3 Drive Through establishment.
The amount of stacking meets the UDC requirements; however, staff is asking the
Planning and Zoning Commission to carefully consider whether it is adequate given the
existing conditions in the surrounding area.

VIII. ADDITIONAL NOTES & DETAILS FOR STAFF REPORT MAPS, TABLES,AND CHARTS
(link to Community Metrics)
A. One-Mile Radius Existing Condition Notes
This data is automatically derived from enterprise application and GIS databases, and exported
dynamically. Date retrieved notes generally reflect data acquired or processed within the last 30-
days.Analysis is based on a one-mile radius from the centroid of the identified parcel. Parcel
based data excludes certain properties and represents land as it exists now. Properties considered
are only those with a total assessed value greater than 0(i.e. excludes most HOA area,transitional
development, government,and quasi government facilities). The following values also constrain
included property acreage to reduce outliers and non-conforming instances from distorting
averages: R-2<5.0; R-4<2.0; R-8< 1.0; R-15 <0.5; R-40<0.25.
Conditional Use Permits and Preliminary plat data likely include duplicate project submittals as
they may be for the same project, approved at different times through multiple application types.
Consider each independently or review prior application approvals. Some approved entitlements,
and particularly older ones,may be constructed.
Decennial population counts and household counts are based on the most recent Decennial
Census. Current population and current household values are COMPASS estimates,usually for
the year previous, and are based on traffic analysis zone boundaries(TAZ's).
B. Service Assessment Notes
This data represents existing conditions derived from our enterprise application and GIS database,
exported through dynamic reporting. The system references the most recent available data from
various sources, including sewer main lines, sewer trunk sheds, floodplain,fire service areas and
response times,police crime reporting,pathway information,existing and planned transit,
roadway improvements, school and park proximity, and other resources.
The tool provides context for project review,using multiple indicators consistently. Data from
similar topics may vary based on different levels of review.
The overall score is based on weighted criteria(not a ranked order), and the percentile score
compares the parcel to others in the city(higher is better). This tool was developed as a City
Council priority and outcome of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan. Scores,whether high or low, are
just one data point and should not be the sole basis for decisions.
C. ACHD Roadway Infographic Notes
The Ada County Highway District utilizes a number of planning and analysis tools to understand
existing and future roadway conditions.
• Existing Level of service(LOS).LOS indicator is a common metric to consider a
driver's experience with a letter ranking from A to F.Letter A represents free flow
conditions, and on the other end Level F represents forced flow with stop and go
conditions. These conditions usually represent peak hour driver experience. ACHD
considers Level D, stable flow,to be acceptable. The LOS does not represent conditions
for bikes or pedestrians,nor indicate whether improvements: are possible; if there are
acceptable tradeoffs; or if there is a reasonable cost-benefit.
• Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP).The IFYWP marker(yes/no) indicates
whether the specified roadway is listed in the next 5-years. This work may vary, from
concept design to construction.
• Capital Improvement Plan(CIP).The CIP marker(yes/no)indicates whether the
specified roadway is programmed for improvement in the next 20-years.
