1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST
The Applicant, Stanley Consultants, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ) of 94.69 acres from
R1 and RUT (Ada County Zones) to C-G (General Retail and Service Commercial) District; Rezone
(RZ) of 75.67 acres from I-L (Light Industrial) District to C-G Zone; Preliminary Plat (PP)
consisting of 61 commercial building lots and 21 common lots on 170 +/- acres; and a Variance
(VAR) for two access points to N. Eagle Road.
As part of the AZ & RZ applications, the applicant has submitted a conceptual site plan showing the
proposed uses and layout of the development along with conceptual building elevations of some of
the proposed buildings. The Pinebridge development is proposed to consist of approximately
3,000,000 square feet of commercial, light office, and multi-family residential uses and a medical
campus. Buildable lots for the~;proposed subdivision range in size from 0.43 of an acre to 13.62 acres.
The proposed development will also result in the extension of E. Pine Avenue between Locust Grove
and Eagle Road, which will serve as the primary east/west connection for the proposed development.
The proposed Pinebridge Avenue will serve as the primary north/south connection between Fairview
Avenue and Pine Avenue. Two roundabouts are proposed for Pinebridge Avenue and Pine Avenue;
one is proposed for the intersection of Pine Avenue and Webb Avenue and a second one is proposed
for the intersection of Pinebridge Avenue and E. State Avenue. Across-access agreement(s) will be
provided for the development to allow for shared parking.
A Variance is requested for :two access points to Eagle Road; the first access request is for the
continued use of an existing access point on Commercial Street that has been used by Elixir, and the
second request is for a new access point which will be located on Eagle Road halfway between Pine
and Commercial. The VAR for access points are required due to a change in use of the property and
because the locations proposed do not comply with the spacing requirements of the UDC.
The overall site consists of approximately 170 acres and is located on the south side of E. Fairview
Avenue, on the east side of N. Locust Grove Road, on the west side of N. Eagle Road, and on the
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE I
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
north side of E. Commercial Street. The subject property is within the City's Area of Impact and the

7. COMMENTS MEETING
On Apri127, 2007 a joint agency and department meeting was held with service providers in this area.
The agencies and departments present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Parks
Department, Meridian Public Works Department, Meridian Police Department, and the Sanitary
Services Company. Staff has included comments, conditions and recommended actions in Exhibit B
below.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
A majority of the subject property is designated "Mixed Use -Community" (MU-C) and "Mixed Use
- Regional," (MU-R) with a 1.5 acre portion designated as "Industrial" on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map. The proposed C-G zoning district is compatible with the afore-mentioned
Mixed Use designations but is not compatible with the Industrial designation. The Comprehensive
Plan (page 98) states that "the areas depicted on the Future Land Use Map are conceptual and,
therefore, will require further analyses prior to the creation of a zoning map." Staff believes that a
map amendment is not necessary for the industrial designated property and that the requested C-G
zone and commercial use of this property would be more appropriate because of the property's size
(1.5 acres) and proximity to Mixed Use designated land.
Per Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, the Mixed Use land use category contains five sub-
categories. "Generally, the mixed-use designation will provide for a combination of compatible land
uses that are typically developed under a master or conceptual site plan. The purpose of this
designation is to identify key areas which are either infill in nature or situated in highly visible or
transitioning areas of the city where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The
intent of this designation is to offer the developer a greater degree of design and use flexibility." The
MU-C category allows for residential densities of 3 to 15 units per acre. Sample uses in this category
also include: grocery stores, drug stores, coffee/sandwich shops, dry cleaner/Laundromat,
professional offices, retaiUgift shops, clothing stores, garden centers, restaurants, banks, drive-thru
facilities, auto service stations, department stores, medicaUdental clinics, schools, parks, churches,
public uses, clubhouses, hardware stores, salons, and daycares. The MU-R category allows for
residential densities of 3 to 40 units per acre. This category includes all of the afore-mentioned uses
allowed in the MU-C category and also includes entertainment uses, major employment centers, and
clean industry.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed development (staff analysis in italics below policy):
Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action 1 -Require that development projects have
planned for the provision of all public services.
When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the
subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the subject
property in the following manner:
- Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's
expense.

10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recominendation:
AZ Application: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for this property is
Mixed Use -Community (MU-C). The applicant is proposing a C-G zone, which is generally
consistent with the MU-G designation. Approval of the subject annexation and zoning request
would allow the Applicant to obtain a commercial (C-G) zoning designation for the subject
property. According to UDC 11-2B-2, the uses proposed for this site, retail stores, professional
services, and healthcare services, are principal permitted uses in the proposed C-G zone. The
Applicant has submitted a conceptual development plan and building elevations showing how this
site will redevelop with approximately 3.,000,000 square feet of residential, commercial, and light
office uses.
Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use
Map designation of Mixed Use for this property, Staff believes that the requested C-G zone is
appropriate for this property. Please see Exhibit D for a detailed analysis of the required facts and
findings for an annexation:
The annexation legal descriptions for Parcels 1 & 2 submitted with the application (stamped on
February 5, 2007 by Michael E. Marks, PLS) are accurate and meet the requirements of the City
of Meridian and Idaho State Tax Commission.
RZ Application: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for this property is
Mixed Use -Regional (MLT-R), Mixed Use -Community (MU-C) and Industriah The proposed
C-G zoning district is compatible with the MU-R and MU-C designations but is not compatible
with the Industrial designation. The Comprehensive Plan (page 98) states that "the areas depicted
on the Future Land Use Map are conceptual and, therefore, will require further analyses prior to
the creation of a zoning map." Staff believes that a map amendment is not necessary for the
industrial designated property and that the requested C-G zone and commercial use of this
property would be more appropriate because of the property's size (1.5 acres) and proximity to
Mixed Use designated land and that the property owner owns all of the subject property.
Approval of the subject rezone request would allow the Applicant to obtain a commercial (C-G)
zoning designation for the subject property. According to UDC 11-2B-2, the uses proposed for
this site (i.e. retail stores, professional services, and healthcare services) are principal permitted
uses in the proposed C-G zone. The Applicant has submitted a conceptual development plan and
building elevations showing how this site will redevelop with approximately 3,000,000 square
feet of residential, commercial, and light office uses.
Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use
Map designation of Mixed Use for this property, Staff believes that the requested C-G zone is
appropriate for this property. Please see Exhibit D for a detailed analysis of the required facts and
findings for a rezone.
The rezone legal description for Parcels 1 & 2 submitted with the application (stamped on
February 5, 2007 by Michael E. Marks, PLS) are accurate and meet the requirements of the City
of Meridian and Idaho State Tax Commission.
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 11
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
Development Agreement: In conjunction with the AZ & RZ, Idaho Code §67-6511A provides
the City the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA)
with the City of Meridian that may require some written commitment for all future uses, per UDC
11-SB-3D2. Staff believes that a DA is necessary to ensure that the site develops in an
attractive manner. If the Commission or Council feels additional DA requirements are
necessary, staff recommends a clear outline of the commitments of the developer being required.
Staff would like to see the following concepts employed in the development of the property:
1) pedestrian connections between buildings in the form of pathways distinguished from
vehicular driving surfaces through the use of pavers, colored or scored concrete, or bricks;
2) structures built adjacent to roadways with parking to the rear and sides of the
structures; 3) common areas with site amenities (i.e., plazas/courtyards, water features,
picnic areas, flower gardens, public art, etc.); 4) structures oriented toward each other with
windows, awnings, or arcades totaling at least 30% of the length of the facade viewable
from other structures; 5) provide walkways at least 8 feet in width for any aisle length that
is greater than 150 parking spaces or 200 feet away from the main building entrance; 6)
exterior building walls should demonstrate the appearance of high quality materials of
stone, brick, wood, or other native materials (acceptable materials include tinted or
textured masonry block,. textured masonry block, textured architectural coated concrete

PP Application: The Applicant has submitted a preliminary plat/conceptual site plan for this
site labeled as Sheets 1, 2, 3, & 4 of 7, prepared by Stanley Consultants, Inc., and dated March
5, 2007. The proposed subdivision consists of 61 buildable lots and 21 common lots. All
proposed lots meet the dimensional standards for the requested C-G zone. Buildable lots range
in size from 0.43 of an acre to 13.62 acres.
Staff has reviewed the preliminary plat/conceptual site plan and is supportive of the following
design features represented on the plan: 1) the orientation of the buildings adjacent to Eagle Road
with parking to the side and rear of the structures; 2) the roundabouts which should reduce
speeding and assist in traffic flow; and 3) planter islands.
The Applicant has not submitted a phasing plan for this site. Due to the size of this
development and the proposed extension of Pine Avenue, the Applicant should address the
timeline for development of the site at the Commission hearing and submit a phasing plan
prior to or at the Commission meeting. Additionally, depending upon the Applicant's
phasing plan, the Commission may want to include a DA provision that Pine Avenue be
extended prior to issuance of Certificate of Zoning Compliance's on the site.
Proposed Streets and/or, Access: Primary access to the development is proposed to be provided
from E. Fairview Avenue via Pinebridge Avenue, and N. Eagle Road & N. Locust Grove Road
via Pine Avenue. The applicant is planning to construct Pinebridge Avenue south from E.
Fairview Avenue and extend E. Pine Avenue to the west from N. Eagle Road to N. Nola Road,
which will serve as the primary access points into the development. Pinebridge Avenue will be
constructed within 64 feet ofright-of--way with a 46-foot wide street section (measured back to
back), curb, gutter, and a7-foot wide attached sidewalk. Pine Avenue will be constructed within
96 feet ofright-of--way with a 72-foot wide street section (measured back to back), curb, gutter, a
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 13
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
5-foot wide planter, and detached 5-foot wide sidewalk. East Wilson Lane is proposed to stub to
the west at the northern portion of the development for future connection to the existing Wilson
Lane west of the site. East State Street is proposed to connect to the east to an existing segment of
State Street. North Webb Avenue and North Machine Avenue are proposed to connect to the
south to existing segments :of these streets. North Newbridge Place will be constructed to the
south from E. Pine Avenue to provide access to Lots 4 & 5, Block 2. East Shellbrook will provide
access from N. Locust Grove Road to the proposed multi-family portion of the development and
connect to Pinebridge Avenue. Across-access agreement will be recorded for Pinebridge to allow
for shared parking. ACRD' has submitted comments on this application, included in Exhibit B,
which recommend against the approval of the proposed traffic signal at the Fairview/Pinebridge
intersection as currently proposed. Staff is generally supportive of the proposed street system
within the development with the comments and conditions stated in Section 10, Analysis, and
Exhibit B of this report. However, Staff is not supportive of the two access points proposed to
Eagle Road with the VAR application because access to the site can adequately be provided
from Pine Avenue that runs along the northeast boundary of the site, in addition to the
other proposed access points to the other arterial roadways.
Cross-Access/Driveway Stubs: There are some parcels adjacent to this site that should be
interconnected to this development. Staff believes that cross access easements and driveway
stubs should be provided, to the following parcels: 87104250004 (Cortabitarte, at the east
boundary); 87104251802 (Belair Leasing, Inc., at the west boundary); 82333350010 (Elliott
Group, LLC., at the west boundary); and 82333350020 (H2NR, LLC., at the west
boundary). Across-access agreement should be recorded granting cross-access to these parcels
via a note on the plat or a separate agreement. Providing cross-access to the afore-mentioned
properties will assist in providing interconnectivity to adjoining parcels and limiting access points
on adjacent roadways. Cross access easement(s) should also be recorded for all lots within this
subdivision that share drive aisles. Staff is not requesting that a stub be provided to the south from
the multi-family portion of the development to the Duncan property (parcel #51108233990)
because of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation of Industrial for the
property. Staff feels that connectivity to this parcel should be provided from the south via Pine
and/or from the west via Locust Grove through properties that are designated for similar type
uses.
Landscaping: The Applicant has submitted a landscape plan with this application, labeled as
Sheet 1 of 1, prepared by Stanley Consultants, Inc., and dated March 22, 2007. Landscaping must
be installed on this site in accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B, Landscaping
Requirements. The landscaping shown on the landscape plan submitted with this application is
approved with the following modification/comments (NOTE: The internal landscaping has not
been reviewed and is not approved with this plat. Internal landscaping will be subject to
compliance with the UDC during the CZC review. Perimeter and landscaping adjacent to streets
shall be completed as part of the platting process):
• A 35-foot wide street buffer is required along Eagle Road, an entryway corridor in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7, Landscape Buffers along Streets.
A 25-foot wide street buffer is required along E. Fairview Avenue, Pine Avenue and N.
Locust Grove Road, and any other street(s) classified as an arterial street, landscaped in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7, Landscape Buffers along Streets.
• A 20-foot wide street buffer is required along all collector streets, landscaped in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7, Landscape Buffers along Streets.
• A 10-foot wide street buffer is required along all local streets, landscaped in accordance
with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7, Landscape Buffers along Streets.
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 14
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
• A 25-foot wide buffer to residential uses is required in accordance with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3B-9C, Landscape Buffer to Adjoining Uses.
• Internal parking lot landscaping is required upon development of each lot in accordance
with the standards.`.listed in UDC 11-3B-8, Parking Lot Landscaping.
• Per UDC 11-3B-10, the applicant should work with the City Arborist, Elroy Huff, on
designing, adopting, and implementing a protection and mitigation plan for the existing
trees on site.
• A written certificate of completion should be prepared by the landscape architect,
designer, or qualified nurseryman responsible for the landscape plan and submitted to the
Planning Department prior to issuance of any Certificate of Occupancies for this site. All
standards of installation should apply as listed in UDC 11-3B-14.
Where the applicant has submitted a preliminary landscape plan and where staff has reviewed
such plan, the landscaping shall be consistent with the preliminary plan with modifications as
proposed by staff. The preceding modifications and notes should be shown on a revised
landscape plan submitted with the final plat application(s), the Certificate of Zoning
Compliance and Conditional Use Permit application(s).
Existing Structures: The site currently contains some existing structures. All existing structures
that do not meeting setbacks or the dimensional standards of the UDC shall be removed prior to
the City Engineer's signature on the final plat. There are several old structures located at the
corner of Nola and Pine that may be classified as historical structures. The Applicant shall
address at the public hearing what they intend on doing with these structures.
Building Elevations: The Applicant has submitted an elevation of their office building proposed
to be located adjacent to the Pinebridge development at the corner of Pine and Hickory (see
Exhibit A.5). The Applicant states that this elevation is representative of what some of the
buildings will look like within the proposed Pinebridge development. A list of construction
materials for the future buildings on the site was not provided by the Applicant. Due to the size of
this development, Staff does not believe that requiring all buildings within the development to
resemble the elevation submitted with this application would be practical. However, in order to
ensure that future buildings on this site develop in an attractive manner, Staff is including
design provisions in the Development Agreement for future buildings (see DA provisions
above and in Exhibit B). ,
Design Standards: All structures proposed within the development that exceed 200,000 square
feet or that are located on an entryway corridor (Eagle Road), shall be required to obtain design
review approval and comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19C. Further, all
structures located adjacent to Fairview Avenue, Pinebridge Avenue, and Pine Avenue shall also
be required to comply with the afore-mentioned design standards because of the high visibility of
the structures.
Fencing: The Applicant is not proposing to construct fencing on the site and none is required by
the UDC. If permanent fencing is not constructed on the site, temporary fencing to contain debris
during construction should be installed around the perimeter of the site.
Pathways: The Master Pathways Plan depicts future 10-foot wide multi-use pathways across this
site. Multi-use pathways should be constructed on this site in accordance with the standards listed
in the Pathways Plan and the locations depicted on the Master Pathways Plan included as Exhibit
A.4 in this report and per the text in the Pathways Plan as follows: 1) The pathway shown on the
Pathways Plan (Settlers Cieek Pathway, Locust Grove-Treasure Valley RWT) along the
northwest portion of the site on the north side of the multi-family portion of the development is
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 15
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
planned to be located "on either the north or south side of the Settlers Canal where it will
eventually connect with a short existing segment of pathway before continuing east as a proposed
pathway. Where the Flume Canal disappears the pathway heads south to connect to the Treasure
Valley RWT." Because there is an existing segment of pathway along the north side of Settlers
Canal on the H21VR LLC & Paddington Subdivision HOA properties, Staff believes that the
pathway should continue to Locust Grove along the north side of the Settlers Canal and be
constructed upon development of the Leonard property (R7104253800). The Applicant should
connect to the existing segment of pathway and extend the pathway on the north side of the
Flume Canal to the east property boundary. The pathway should then extend south along the
west side of Machine Avenue then cross Machine and run along the Snyder Lateral to the south
property boundary for future connection to the Treasure Valley RWT. 2) The pathway shown on
the Pathways Plan (Meridian Loop Pathway, Franklin-Fairview) is planned to extend from the
Treasure Valley RWT and~head north along Nola Road and then northeast to the signal at
Hickory Way and Fairview. The Applicant should construct the pathway along the east side
of Nola Road along the west property boundary, north across Pine Avenue, then east along
the north side of Pine Avenue and north along the west side of Pinebridge Avenue. Where
the pathway meets the pathway required along the Flume Canal, the pathway should cross
Pinebridge and extend north along the east side of Pinebridge and stub to the Cortabitarte
property at the northeast corner of the site for future extension to the east as shown on the
conceptual plan in Exhibit A. The multi-use pathways in each phase of the development
shall be constructed prior to signature on the final plat of each phase.
Ditches, Laterals, and Canals: Per UDC 11-3A-6 all irrigation ditches, laterals or canals,
exclusive of any natural waterway, that intersect, cross or lie within the area being subdivided
shall be covered.
Pressure Irrigation: The City of Meridian requires that pressurized irrigation systems be
supplied by a year-round source of water. The applicant should be required to use any existing
surface or well water for the primary source. If a surface or well source is not available, asingle-
point connection to the culinary water system shall be required. If a single-point connection is
used, the developer will be responsible for the payment of assessments for the common areas
prior to signature on the final plat by the City Engineer. An underground, pressurized imgation
system should be installed~to all landscape areas per the approved specifications and in
accordance with UDC 11-3A-15 and MCC 9-1-28.
Multi-family Development: The preliminary plat/conceptual site plan submitted with this
application depicts amulti-family development proposed for the western portion of the site. This
plan shows 25 multi-family buildings with an undisclosed number of residential units. Multi-
family developments required Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval in the C-G zone, per UDC
11-2B-2. Staff questions how the design of the multi-family area shown on the concept plan will
create a viable multi-family project with a public road bisecting the units. A CUP shall be
submitted prior to final plat submittal for this area so that the exact layout and design for the
multi-family development can be reviewed and approved prior to construction of the roads in this
area. The subject application does not grant approval of the proposed multi-family
development, location or`number of structures, number of dwelling units, or driveway
approval; a CUP is required for approval of the proposed multi-family development on the
site. Additionally, Specific Use Standards (UDC 11-4-3-27) apply to multi-family developments
as follows:
a. Setbacks: Buildings shall provide a minimum setback of 10 feet, unless a greater
setback is otherwise required by the UDC.
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 16
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
b. Service areas: On-site service areas, outdoor storage areas, waste storage, disposal
facilities, and transformer or utility vaults shall be fully screened from view from any
public street.
c. Private, usable open space: A minimum of 80 square feet of private, usable open space
shall be provided for each unit. This requirement can be satisfied through porches, patios,
decks, and/or enclosed yards. Landscaping, entryway and other access ways shall not
count toward this requirement.
d. Developments with 20 units or more shall provide the following: A property
management office, a maintenance storage area, a central mailbox location, and a
directory and map of the development at a convenient location.
e. Covered Parking. UDC 11-3C-6 requires that multifamily developments shall provide
parking as follows: for 1 bedroom units, there shall be two parking spaces with one in a
covered carport or garage; and for units with more than one bedroom, 2 parking spaces
shall be provided in a covered carport or garage.
£ Common Open Space Design Requirements: A minimum of 350 square feet of
outdoor common open space shall be provided for each unit containing more than 1,200
square feet of living area. The common open space shall be not less than 400 square feet
in area, and shall Have a minirnurn length and width dimension of 20 feet.
g. Amenities: UDC.11-4-3.27 requires that multi-family developments between 20 and 75
units provide 3 amenities from separate categories (i.e. quality of life, open space, or
recreation).
h. Elevations: Elevations are required to meet the architectural standards set forth in UDC
11-4-3-27E.
i. Landscaping: Per UDC 11-4-3-27, all street facing elevations shall have landscaping
along their foundation. The foundation landscaping shall meet the following standards:
- The landscaped area shall be at least 3-feet wide;
- For every 3 lihear feet of foundation, an evergreen shrub having a minimum mature
height of 24 inches shall be planted; and
- Ground cover plants shall be planted in the remainder of the landscaped area.
j. Maintenance and Ownership Responsibilities: Per UDC 11-4-3-27G, a legally binding
document shall be recorded that states the maintenance and ownership responsibilities for
the management of the development, including, but not limited to, structures, parking,
common areas, and other development features.
VAR Application: The applicant is requesting a Variance from the standards listed in UDC 11-
3H-4B 1 c and 11-3H-4B2, regarding Development along Federal and State Highways. Because
the east boundary of this site is located adjacent to State Highway (SH) 55 (Eagle Road), the
standards listed in UDC 11-3H-4B regarding Development along State Highways, apply to the
development of this property. The Applicant is proposing two access points to SH 55. The first is
from the existing Commercial Court, which is a private road located approximately 860 feet south
of the centerline of Pine Avenue that has been used by Elixir. The second is a new access point
proposed to be located half-way between Pine and Commercial, approximately 440 feet north of
the south property line. Se'e Exhibit A.4 for proposed access points to SH 55.
Pine Avenue is located in accordance with UDC 11-3H, 'h mile between Fairview Avenue and
Franklin Road. Per UDC 11-3H-4B, use of existing approaches (in this case, E. Commercial
Pinebridge AZ RZ PP VAR PAGE 17
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF OCTOBER 23, 2007
Street) to SH 55 shall be allowed to continue provided that all of the following conditions are
met: 1) The existing use is'lawful and properly permitted effective September 15, 2005; 2) The
nature of the use does not change (for example, a residential use to a commercial use); and 3) The
intensity of the use does not increase (for example, an increase in the number of residential
dwelling units or an increase in the square footage of commercial space). Staff has reviewed these
standards and found that the intensity of the proposed use of the site will increase because of the
square footage of commercial space proposed. The UDC further states, "If an applicant proposes
a change or increase in intensity of use, the owner shall develop or otherwise acquire access to a
street other than the state highway. The use of the existing approach shall cease and the approach
shall be abandoned and removed." Additionally, "No new approaches directly accessing a state
highway shall be allowed and public street connections to the state highway shall only be allowed
at the section line road and the half mile mark between section line roads (where Pine Avenue
currently exists). These half mile connecting streets shall be collector roads." The applicant is
requesting a Variance to the above-stated standards and is proposing that the existing Commercial
Street approach be allowed to continue and that a new approach to SH 55 be allowed on the west
side of SH 55, midway between Pine Avenue and Commercial Street.
The applicant's justification for the proposed variance, per the applicant's narrative submitted
with the application, is "The two variances are being requested to relieve undue hardships
associated with the site. If the proposed project were smaller in scale it would not be necessary to
propose an additional access point on SH 55; the 170 acre size of the proposed development and
the location of the project make it necessary to create a new access point to provide adequate
connectivity and access for the proposed development. The change in intensity of the use for the
existing Elixir access point warrants the second proposed variance to allow for the continuing use
of an existing access point. The proposed change in use of the subject property is supported by
Meridian's Comprehensive Phan; the Pinebridge property is designated for Mixed Use, Industrial,
and Mixed Use Regional development. It would not be possible to develop the subject property in
a manner consistent with Meridian's Comprehensive Plan without changing the intensity of use
on the property."
In order for the Council to.grant a variance, the Council shall make the following findings:
- The variance shall~not grant a special right or privilege that is not otherwise allowed in
the district; ,
- The variance relied es an undue hardship because of characteristics of the site; and
- The variance shall' not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
Staff does not believe that the afore-mentioned findings can be made for approval of the variance
request in this instance. Please see Staff's analysis of the findings in Exhibit D of this report for
more information. Further; Staff does not believe that two additional access points to SH 55 are
necessary as there is an existing access point to SH 55 via Pine Avenue, along the northeast
boundary of this site, which will provide access to the east side of this development.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the proposed AZ, RZ, & PP
applications but is recommending denial of the VAR request per the conditions listed in Exhibit B
of the Staff Report, based on the Findings in Exhibit D of this report. The Meridian Planning &
Zon1nE Commission heard these items on May 17, June 21, and July 19, 2007. At the public

1.2.3 Construct 10-foot multi-use pathways within this development in accordance with the standards
listed in the Meridian Pathways Master Plan and the conceptual locations depicted on the
Pathways Plan shown in `Exhibit A.4 of this report and per the text in the Pathways Plan as
follows: 1) The pathway shown on the Pathways Plan (Settlers Creek Pathway, Locust Grove-
Treasure Valley RWT) along the northwest portion of the site on the north side of the multi-
family portion of the development is planned to be located "on either the north or south side of
the Settlers Canal where ,it will eventually connect with a short existing segment of pathway
before continuing east as a proposed pathway. Where the Flume Canal disappears the pathway
heads south to connect to the Treasure Valley RWT." Because there is an existing segment of
pathway along the north side of Settlers Canal on the H2NR LLC & Paddington Subdivision
HOA properties, Staff believes that the pathway should continue to Locust Grove along the north
side of the Settlers Canal and be constructed upon development of the Leonard property
(87104253800). The Applicant shall connect to the existing segment of pathway and extend
the pathway on the north side of the Flume Canal to the east property boundary. The
pathway should then extend south along the west side of Machine Avenue then cross
Machine and run along the Snyder Lateral to the south property boundary for future
connection to the Treasure Valley RWT. 2) The pathway shown on the Pathways Plan
(Meridian Loop Pathway,'Franldin-Fairview) is planned to extend from the Treasure Valley RWT
and head north along Nola Road and then northeast to the signal at Hickory Way and Fairview.
The Applicant should construct the pathway along the east side of Nola Road along the west
property boundary, north across Pine Avenue, then east along the north side of Pine
Avenue and north along`the west side of Pinebridge Avenue. Where the pathway meets the
pathway required alongthe Flume Canal, the pathway should cross Pinebridge and extend
north along the east side of Pinebridge and stub to the Cortabitarte property at the
northeast corner of they, site for future extension as shown on the plan in Exhibit A. The
multi-use pathways in each phase of the development shall be constructed prior to signature
on the final plat of each phase.
1.2.4 A Conditional Use Permit is required for the multi-family residential portion of the development
depicted on the conceptual site plan. All future structures shall comply with the architectural
standards listed in UDC:411-4-3-27E for multi-family developments. A Certificate of Zoning
Compliance (CZC) is required for each building within this development prior to issuance of a
building permit. Development of the site shall substantially comply with the conceptual
development plan submitted with this application. NOTE: A CZC application may include
multiple/all multi family units within the development.
1.2.5 All structures proposed within the development that exceed 200,000 square feet or that are
located on an entryway corridor (Eagle Road), shall be required to obtain design review approval
and comply with the design standards listed in UDC 11-3A-19C. Further, all structures located
adjacent to Fairview Avenue, Pinebridge Avenue, and Pine Avenue shall also be required to
comply with the afore-mentioned design review standards.
1.2.6 Cross access easements and driveway stubs shall be provided to the following parcels:
87104250004 (Cortabitaite, at the east boundary); 87104251802 (Belair Leasing, Inc., at the

Exhibit D
D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
Annexation and 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 zone all of the subject property to C-G. The City Council
finds that the proposed zoning map amendment complies with the applicable provisions
of the Comprehensive Plan. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section
8, of the Staff Report.
b. The map amendment complies with the regulations outlined for the proposed
district, specifically the purpose statement;
If the applicant enters into a development agreement with the city, the City Council fmds
that future development of this property will comply with the established regulations and
purpose statement of the C-G zone.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
The City Council finds that the proposed zoning map amendment will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare. 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 City Council finds that the proposed zoning amendment should not result in any
adverse impact upon the delivery of services by any political subdivision providing
services to this site.
e. The annexation is in the best of interest of the City (UDC 11-SB-3.E).
If the applicant enters into a development agreement with the City, the City Council finds
that the annexation of this property is in the best interest of the City as it meets the intent
of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Preliminary Plat Findings:
In consideration of a, preliminary plat, combined preliminary and final plat, or short
plat, the decision-making body shall make the following findings:
a. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
The City Council finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan. Staff generally supports the proposed plat layout, with
recommended changes, as they comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.
Please see Comprehensive Plan Policies and Goals, Section 8, of the Staff Report.
b. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
Exhibit D
The City Council finds that public services can be made available to accommodate the
proposed development. (See Exhibit B of the Staff Report for more details from public
service providers.)
c. The plat is in conformance with scheduled public improvements in accord with the
City's capital improvement program;
Because the developer is installing sewer, water, and utilities for the development at their
own cost, the City `Council finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
d. There is public financial capability of supporting services for the proposed
development;
Staff recommends the Commission and Council rely upon comments from the public
service providers (i.e., Police, Fire, ACRD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit
B, Agency Comments and Conditions, for more detail.)
e. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
Staff is not aware of any health, safety, or environmental problems associated with the
development of this subdivision that should be brought to the Council or Commission's
attention. ACRD'considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff recommends that
the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may be presented to
determine whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health, safety or
environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
f. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
Staff is unaware of any natural or scenic features on this site. However, there are
several old structures located at the corner of Nola and Pine that may be classified
as historical structures. The City Council finds that the Applicant should meet with
the Historic Preservation Commission to determine if these structures should be
preserved. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public
testimony that may be presented to determine whether or not the proposed development
may destroy or damage a natural or scenic feature(s) of major importance of which staff
is unaware.
3. Variance Findings:
The City Council shall apply the standards listed in Idaho Code 67-6516 and all the
findings listed in Section 11-SB-4.E of the UDC to review the variance request. In order
to grant a variance, the Council shall make the following findings:
a. The variance shall not grant a right or special privilege that is not otherwise allowed
in the district:
In addition to Pine Avenue/Street, the applicant is proposing to use two other access
points to Eagle Road. If the City Council grants the two proposed access points on Eagle
Road/SH55, it would grant a right that is currently prohibited not only in the C-G zone
but for all new development adjacent to state highways.
Several public access points are available to this site from N. Locust Grove Road and E.
Fairview Avenue and an access point via E. Pine Avenue already exists to SH 55.
Therefore, Staff does not find that the request is consistent with UDC 11-SB-4E-1 and
this finding does not apply to the subject property. However, the City Council does find
Exhibit D
that the Applicant's request is consistent with UDC 11-SB-4E1 and approves the access
point to Eagle Road from Commercial Street. (Note: The applicant withdrew the
Variance request for the proposed access point to Eagle located between Commercial and
Pine.)
b. The variance relieves an undue hardship because of characteristics of the site;
Council finds that the location of this site, being on a major arterial, justifies an access
point being constructed to Eagle Road/SH 55.
c. The variance shall not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare.
It is important to limit access points on major roads such as highways, as their main
function is to move traffic over longer distances at higher speeds. This means separating
access points on said roads so that turning movements occur at fewer locations. Frequent
access points do increase congestion. And as traffic congestion increases, so does the
likelihood of traffic conflict and the potential for accidents.
Council finds that granting the proposed access point to Eagle from Commercial will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare and is approved.
NOTE: The applicant withdrew the Variance request for an access point to Eagle
Road proposed between Commercial and Pine.
