In 2000, the Applicant, Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene, was granted annexation and
zoning approval for a church I multi-purpose facility to be located at 150 W. Maestra (AZ-OO-
018). The approved zoning was R-8. At that time, the Applicant was required to enter into a
development agreement which limited use of the site to just that - a church. The DA also
stipulated that prior to construction of the church building or other buildings on-site, procurement
of a CUP was first required.
In 2006, Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene was granted detailed conditional use approval
for construction of the church lying within an R-8 (Medium Density Residential) district. (See
CUP-05-058 for more information, if necessary.)

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
This property is designated "Public / Quasi-Public" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.
"Public / Quasi-Public" areas are designated to preserve and protect existing private, municipal, state, and
federal lands (see Page 106 of the Comprehensive Plan). This category includes churches and public lands
(excluding parks and schools) within the Area of City Impact. The redevelopment of these areas should
be guided by the intensity of the existing use, the underlying zoning of the property, the surrounding land
uses, the location of the property, and the transportation issues associated with the development of the
property.
The Applicant is requesting to rezone this property to C-G. A church is a principally pennitted use in all
of the commercial zones (L-O, C-N, C-C, & C-G), a conditional use in industrial and certain residential
zones (I-L, I-H, R-8, R-I5, & R-40), and is prohibited in the R-2 and R-4 zones. The Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map designation for this property is "Public / Quasi-Public." The UDC does not have a
Public / Quasi-Public zoning district. However, the Applicant has received prior conditional use approval
for a church in an R-8 zone.
Staff believes that the requested C-G zoning designation for this property for a church generally
complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for the existing and future land use of this
property. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony
that may be provided at the public hearing when determining the most appropriate zone for this property.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC 11-2B-2lists churches or places ofreligious worship as
principal pennitted uses in the requested 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."
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
REZONE ANALYSIS:
Valley Shepherd Nazarene Church - RZ-07-012
PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF AUGUST 21, 2007
The legal description for the proposed rezone submitted with the application (prepared on April
13,2007, by Kevin N. Sorensen, PLS) shows the property within the existing corporate boundary
of the City of Meridian.
The current church use of this property is not proposed to change. Following annexation of the
property to the R-8 (Medium Density Residential) zoning district, the site received conditional
use permit approval for construction of a church within the R-8 zone, as churches are
conditionally allowed within the said zone. Rezoning the property to C-G will allow the church to
operate as a principally permitted use in the zone. As a permitted use, the church will be able to
obtain a permit for a reader board sign and expand the existing use, if so desired.
The Applicant has not submitted a site plan or elevations with this application as there are no
changes proposed to the site or building at this time. The Applicant only wishes to rezone the
property at this time.
Staff believes the Applicant's request to rezone the property to C-G is reasonably compatible with
the surrounding zoning. The property to the southeast (across Meridian Road) is currently zoned
C-G, while a portion of the property directly south is zoned LMO. A majority of the adjacent lands
are zoned residential. However, based on the fact that the current use of the property is not
proposed to change, the compliance of the church use in the proposed C-G zone with the
Unified Development Code, and the general conformance of the proposal with the policies
and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan, Staff believes that rezoning the subject
property from R-8 to C-G is justifiable. Please see Exhibit D for detailed analysis of the
required facts and [mdings for rezoning.
Development Agreement: UDC ll-5B-3D2 provides the Planning & Zoning Commission and
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 future uses. Due to
the Applicant's request for an intense commercial district for the site, and recognizing the
surrounding residential uses, Staff believes that a Development Agreement is necessary to
ensure that this property is utilized in a fashion that is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan and does not negatively impact nearby properties. If the Conunission or Council feels
additional development agreement requirements are necessary, Staff reconunends a clear outline
of the commitments of the developer being required.
As there already exists a development agreement (DA) approved with the Annexation and
Zoning (A~OO-018), Staff believes an addendum to said DA should be required as part of
the rezone of this property. Prior to the rezone ordinance approval, said addendum shall be
accomplished between the City of Meridian and the property owner(s) (at the time of rezone
ordinance adoption). The Applicant shall contact the City Attorney, Bill Nary, at 888-4433
within 6 months of Council approval to initiate this. The addendum shall include, at a
minimum, the following:
. That the following shall be the only allowed uses on this property: Church / religious
place of worship and ancillary church celebrative & recreational activities. No retail or
service uses or conditionally allowed conunercial uses are permitted on this property.
. Future development of the property shall remain consistent with the site and landscaping
plans approved with CUPM05M058.
. That all uses shall not involve 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 oftraffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors.

CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF AUGUST 21,2007
D. Required Findings from the Unified Development Code
1. Rezone Findings
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:
a. The map amendment complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive
Plan;
The Applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property to C-G. The Commission finds that
a zoning map amendment from R.8 to L-Q for the subject property complies with the
applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan "Public / Quasi-Public" designation. Please
see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the Staff Report for more
information.
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed district,
specifically the purpose statement;
The Commission finds that the proposed church / religious place of worship and ancillary
church uses are permitted within the requested C-G zone, however, L-Q zoning is more
appropriate.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
The Commission finds that a zoning amendment to L-Q will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, if retail, service, and other commercial uses are prohibited on this
site at this time. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any oral or
written testimony that may be provided when determining this finding.
d. The map amendment shall not result in an adverse impact upon the delivery of services
by any political subdivision providing public services within the City including, but not
limited to, school districts; and,
The Commission fmds 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.
