Rezone of 0.28 acres from R-8 (Medium-density Residential)) to O-T (Old Town),
by Linda Loehr.
1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The applicant, Linda Loehr, has applied for a Rezone (RZ) of 0.28 acres from R-8 (Medium-density
Residential) to O-T (Old Town) for the existing residence at 532 E. Broadway Avenue. The applicant is
requesting the subject property be rezoned so a new two story 4-plex can be constructed on the site. If the
subject rezone is approved the existing single-family residence on this site will be demolished to make way
for the new proposed development. Under current code, multi-family developments are not a permitted use
within the R-8 zoning district. The O-T (Old Town) zoning district allows multi-family development as a
principally permitted use. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC) will be required prior to the
construction of the multi-family development. Staff will review the project's conformity with the
downtown design guidelines and the UDC. If the proposed development does not meet the design
guidelines, it will be subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject
site as Old Town. (NOTE: Below, Staff has provided some recommended design changes for the proposed
4-plex that maybe constructed on this site. These changes are mentioned to help the applicant comply with
the downtown design guidelines.)

8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as "Old Town". Old Town is
defined as follows: "This includes the historic downtown and the true community center. Uses would
include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and
visitors. A variety of residential uses could include reuse of existing buildings for residential uses, new
construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses. In order to provide and
accommodate preservation of the historical character, specific design requirements may be imposed.
Pedestrian amenities would be emphasized. Public investment to ensure that Old Town becomes a
centralized activity center with public, cultural, and recreational structures would be encouraged. The
boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian's historic plat boundaries. In several
areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and
complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings." Staff finds that the proposed Rezone complies
6`h and Broadway RZ-07-015 PAGE 3
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 7, 2007
with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the goals and objectives set forth
therein.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC Table 11-2D-2 lists uses that are principal permitted (P),
accessory (A), and conditional (C) or prohibited (-} uses within the proposed O-T zoning district. Multi-
family Developments are listed as permitted uses (P) in the O-T zone.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the O-T District is to accommodate and encourage further
intensification of the historical city center in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The intent
of the O-T District is to delineate a centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal,
revitalization and growth as the public, quasi-public, cultural, financial and recreational center of the
City. Public and quasi-public uses integrated with general business, and medium-high to high-density
residential is encouraged to provide the appropriate mix and intensity of activities necessary to establish
a truly urban city center.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation
REZONE: As mentioned earlier, the applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single family
home and construct a new 4-plex on the site. The applicant is requesting a rezone of this property
because the proposed multi-family family development is a prohibited use in the R-8 zoning district.
Rezoning the property to the O-T district allows multi-family development as a principally permitted
use in accordance with UDC 11-2D-2. The Old Town zoning district allows for a diverse mix of uses
within the comprehensive plan boundaries. Staff believes rezoning this property to O-T is appropriate
and any future development of the subject site will improve the appearance of the property, while
contributing to the revitalization of the Old Town area.
Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and compliance with the Unified
Development Code for the O-T zone, Staff believes that the rezoning of this property to O-T is in the
best interest of the City. Please see Exhibit C for detailed analysis of facts and findings.
The rezone legal description submitted with the application (prepared on July 30, 2007 by Kevin N.
Sorensen, PLS) shows the property within the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian.
Development Agreement (DA): UDC 11-SB-3D2 provides the Planning & Zoning Commission and
City Council the authority to require a property owner to enter into a DA with the City of Meridian that
may require some written commitment for all future uses. Due to the small size of the subject
property and the Applicant's intent to improve the subject site, Staff believes that a DA is not
necessary in this instance. However, if the Commission or Council feels that a DA is necessary to
ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
does not negatively impact nearby properties; Staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of
the developer being required.
Elevation/Site Plan: With the rezone application, the applicant submitted a conceptual site plan and
building elevations. The applicant is proposing to construct a 4-plex consisting of units ranging in size
from 1,057 square feet with two bedrooms and one and half baths to 1,273 square feet with three
bedrooms and two baths. The 4-plex is designed to be two stories in height, incorporate front porches
and provide eight covered carports. The applicant also states the landscaping for the site should include
bushes and shrubs around the building and have approximately 200 square feet of grassy common area
for future tenants. Staff is recommending some changes to the applicant's elevations and site plan
to ensure compliance with the downtown design guidelines. If the following changes are not made,
6'h and Broadway RZ-07-015 PAGE 4
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF NOVEMBER 7, 2007
the applicant may need a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 4plex on this site. l) Staff
believes the building should shift 5 feet to the south to allow more turning radius into the rear
parking off the alley. This shift will allow the side of unit #1 to be built right up to the back of the
sidewalk on Broadway. 2) Parking stalls 3 and 4 should be relocated towards the alley to provide
the future tenants more common area; align these parking stalls with the other parking stalls. 3)
Staff is concerned about parking stall #8 being so close to the 6`h Street/alley intersection. Parking
stall #8 should be shifted to be next to parking stalls #1 and #2.4) More articulation should be
shown to the front facade along 6`h Street. Units #1 and #4 should shift so they are built to the
back of the sidewalk on 6t6 Street. This shift also provides a screen for the parking areas and adds
modulation to the front facade. Staff is recommending changes be done prior to the submittal of a
CZC.
All future re-development of the subject property comply with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at
the time of development (i.e. comply with standards of the O-T zone regarding setbacks, property size,
street frontage, parking, etc.). All future development should comply with UDC 11-4-3-27 and the
downtown design guidelines. 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.
Sanitary sewer and water service: The current residence is serviced by existing service lines to the
City of Meridian's domestic water and sewer systems. The condition of these services is unknown at
this time. The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with any sewer and water service
extension or upgrade. Wells may only be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation.
Existing Trees: There are existing trees on this site. The applicant should work with the City Arborist
on a tree mitigation/protection plan.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of 82-07-015 for the 6a' and Broadway
property, as presented in the Staff Report for the hearing date of October 4, 2007, subject to the
Finding of Facts as listed in Exhibit C. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions in
