Recommendation
Staffrecommends approval of the preliminary plat with the conditions listed above.
STANDARDS FOR CONDITIONAL USES
The Commission and Council shall review the particular facts and circumstances of each
proposed conditional use in terms of the following and shall find adequate evidence showing that
such use at the proposed location (11-17-3):
A. Will in fact constitute a conditional use as determined by City policy;
The subject property is located in a Mixed Use Review Area (MUR) as delineated on the
Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Map and is therefore required to be developed as a
conditional use (11-7-2.Q.).
B. Will be harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and this
Title;
The current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as Mixed
Planned Development which would require the property to be developed with a
Conditional Use Permit.
Staff finds that the requested use is harmonious with and is in accordance with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan. The requested uses and submitted site plan are not in direct
conformance with the Zoning Guidelines.
The Applicant has requested two waivers to the Zoning Ordinance. The first requested
waiver is to reduce the required setback in a C-G zone from 15' to 5' for all 9 of the
commercial building lots. The reason for this request is that all of the buildings, with one
exception, "front" onto common parking lots and not public right of way or adjacent
property owned by another party. Staff fords that this request is not unreasonable and is
harmonious with the intent of Section 11-9-1 of the Meridian City Code
The second requested waiver from the Zoning Ordinance is to reduce the required
landscape buffer along the Cemetery (to the west) and Medimont Subdivision (to the
east) to only five feet, in order to accommodate the placement of garages. The Landscape
Ordinance requires a 20-foot landscape buffer between cemeteries and multiple family

dwellings. Likewise, a 20-foot landscape buffer is required between multi-family
dwellings and wazehouse or indoor manufacturing. Staff supports this waiver based on
the fact that the gazages will provide a visual buffer, as well as a noise buffer, that will
benefit both of the neighboring uses, as well as the residents of the apartments.
Pazking for the 9 commercial buildings is sufficient for the types of uses requested (office
and retail). Office pazking requirements aze 1 pazking space for each 400 square feet of
gross azea of the office building and retail pazking is determined as 1 space for each 200
squaze feet of gross floor azea. The applicant is proposing a total of 31,500 squaze feet of
new office/retail building and is indicating 134 pazking spaces dedicated to office and
retail use. If you take 31,500 squaze feet and divide it by 134 you can determine that the
applicant has provided approximately 1 pazking space for every 235 square-feet of gross
floor azea.
A119 of the proposed buildings cannot be used for retail uses; however, the applicant has
provided enough pazking for a mix of office and retail uses.
Throughout the development there aze more than 12 pazking stalls lineazly arranged
without a landscaping island as required by the Landscape Ordinance. Afive-foot-wide
(min.), 50-squaze-foot (min.) landscape island is required between every 12 pazking
spaces.
Lot 3, Block 1, does not have the minimum ten-foot-wide landscape buffer along the
local street as required by the adopted Landscape Ordinance.
All of the items listed above will be addressed in the Conditions of Approval below.
C. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general
vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the same area;
Staff finds that the proposed development will not change the essential character of the
general vicinity (mixed-use) and will be harmonious with the intended character of the
same area.
D. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses;
Staff finds that the proposed development will not be disturbing to the neighboring uses
such as the Meridian Cemetery or the Medimont Industrial Pazk, based on the screening
and landscaping that has been proposed by the applicant.
Staff finds that the proposed development does not meet the minimum landscape buffer
requirements between land uses along the western boundary of Lots 1, 2, 4, and 6 of
Block 1. The Landscape Ordinance requires that there be a 20-foot landscape buffer

between a single family residence and property zoned C-G. The objective of the buffer is
to lessen the impact of more intense uses located adjacent to less intense uses.
The applicant has proposed aten-foot buffer between the single-family home and
undeveloped R 6 (County) zoned property based on the fact that the home is not being
utilized as a typical residential home. The existing home is being utilized as a group
foster home, otherwise known as a transitional treatment center, for juveniles who are on
probation Up to 10 juveniles, ages 13-17, are allowed to be housed in the home along
with the house staff.
Based on these findings, staff is in support of allowing a reduced setback, should the
applicant make a request of the Commission and Council to reduce the setback mandated
by the Landscape Ordinance.
E. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as
highways, street, police, and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal,
water, sewer or that the person responsible for the establishment of proposed
conditional use shall be able to provide adequately any such service;
Staff finds that the proposed development should be adequately served by the essential
public facilities and services listed above.
F. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities
and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community;
Staff finds that the proposed use would not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community, nor would it create excessive requirements for any new facilities or services
to be paid for by the public.
G. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and conditions that
will be detrimental to any persons, property, or general welfare by reason of
excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors;
Staff finds that no excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors will result from
the proposed use.
fi. Will have vehicular approaches to the property which shall be so designed as not to
create an interference with traffic on surrounding public streets;
Staff finds that the proposed use will not create significant interference with any traffic
on the surrounding public streets. There will be a large number of new vehicle trips
generated by this development and this will result in more delays, but it will not interrupt
the ability to travel along the public streets.

I. Will not result in the destruction ,loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of

disrupted.
