Re: Request for Approval of a Miscellaneous Application to Allow a Temporary Sales
Office in Baldwin Park Subdivision No. 1 by Capital Development (File No. MI-03-
002).
We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the
applicant. These cnuditions shall be rnnsidered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by
motion of the Meridian City Council:
APPLICATION SUNIINARY & LOCATION
The Applicant, Capital Development, Inc., proposes to convert one bay of an existing, attached, three
car garage to a temporary sales office use in Baldwin Park Subdivision No. 1. The office will have two
to four staff members on site for seven days a week, 12:OOpm to 6:OOpm. No specific time period was
proposed in the application. A copy of the building elevation and floor plan was included in the
application. The bay that would be utilized as the sales office is shown with a single man-door and two
sets of multi-pane windows. The other two bays are proposed to have a standard, double overhead
door. The remainder of the dwelling unit floorplan is shown to be a standard single family layout. The
lot (Lot 2, Block 5) is zoned R-8 and is located just east of Baldwin Park Subdivision's primary
entrance off of N. Linder Road.
Title 11, Chapter 8 of the Meridian City Code (Schedule of Use Control) prohibits Professional and
Sales Office uses is the R-8 district. Temporary buildings are allowed as conditional uses in the R-8
district. Unless a Planned Development specifically proposes a sales office as part of the application,
the MCC does not permit these uses outright. The City has allowed sales office uses that are restricted
to the sale of residential lots and/or dwelling units within the subdivision for which the sales are
intended. For example, Ashford Greens, Heritage Commons and Touchmark are recent examples that
have been allowed a temporary sales office that is associated with sales for those developments.
Baldwin Park Subdivision was a straight plat - not a Planned Development. Therefore, staff required a
MI application be submitted for the otherwise prohibited or conditional use.
OWNER OF RECORD
The subject lot is owned by Todd Campbell Construction & Development Co., LLC our of Boise,
Idaho. The owner has submitted notarized consent for Capital Development to submit the application.
