7. COMMENTS MEETING
On December 14, 2007, Planning Staff held an agency comments meeting. The agencies and
departments present include: 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 "Commercial" and "Office" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map. In Chapter VII of the Comprehensive Plan, "Commercial" areas are anticipated to
provide a full range of commercial and retail to serve area residents and visitors and "Office"
areas are anticipated to provide opportunities for low-impact business areas.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply
to the proposed development (staff analysis in italics):
• 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 lands in the
following manner:
- Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's
expense.
- The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire
Department, who currently shares resources and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire
Department.
- The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Police Department
(MPD).
- The roadways adjacent to the subject lands are currently owned and maintained by the
Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change.
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District No. 2. This
service will not change.
Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 6
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008
- The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service
will not change.
Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department,
the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian
Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing
Services, and Sanitary Services Company.
• "Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors (setback,
vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action 4)
The applicant is required to install and maintain landscaping within the street buffers located
along N. Ten Mile Road in accordance with UDC 11-3B-7. An existing 25 foot landscape
buffer is located along N. Ten Mile Road.
• "Permit new ...commercial development only where urban services can be reasonably
provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter
N, Goal I, Obj. A, #6)
Urban services including sanitary sewer and water are available to this site.
• "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area." (Chapter
VII, Goal 1, Objective B)
Staff believes that the future commercial and office uses on this site will contribute to the
variety of uses in this area.
• "Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal
III, Objective D, Action 5)
The applicant is not required to install internal landscaping with the subject preliminary plat
application; however, the applicant will be required to install and maintain a ten foot
landscape buffer along W. Quintale Drive, Capri Street, and Alba Avenue. Internal
landscaping will be required upon development of each lot within the subdivision with CUP
and/or CZC approval.
• "Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent
parcels." (Chapter VII, Goal N, Objective C, Action 1)
The Applicant is proposing a commercial zone adjacent to established residential areas to the
east. An existing drainage swale with the associated landscape runs along the east side of
Alba Avenue and provides the adequate buffering for the residential development. In addition
to the existing landscape/drainage buffer the residential development will be separated by a
public street and an additional 10 feet of landscape along the western side of Alba Avenue.
Staff finds the proposed commercial development will be compatible with the surrounding
residential uses.
Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable to this
application:
• "The capacity of arterial ...roadways can be greatly diminished by excessive driveway
connections to the roadways. The City should cooperate with ACHD to minimize access
points on arterial...roadways as development applications are reviewed." (Chapter VI, page
72)
Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 7
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008
The applicant is proposing a new public street connection to N. Ten Mile Road approximately
280 feet south of W. Quintale Drive; an existing public street. Except for the proposed new
street connection; no other access points are proposed or approved with this application.
Staff is supportive of this access point as it aligns with a future public street adjacent to the
proposed development.
• "Develop methods, such as cross-access agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of
existing access points on to arterial streets." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #12, page 79).
A cross-access agreement will be required as part of this subdivision approval. All of the
proposed driveways will take access to/from internal public roads.
Staff recommends that the Commission rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be
provided at the public hearing when determining if the applicant's development request is
appropriate for this property.
9. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE
a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists a variety of uses that are principal
permitted, accessory, conditional, or prohibited within the C-N and L-O zoning districts.
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 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: Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan and
the Future Land Use Map designation of Commercial and Office, Staff believes that the requested C-
Nand L-O zoning designations are appropriate for the subject property. The commercial portion was
conceptually approved and the office lots were granted as use exceptions for the Bridgetower
Crossing Subdivision but are currently zoned C-G and R-4 respectively. The applicant is proposing to
zone the land to match the land use and match the existing commercial and office portion of the
development with the City's Comprehensive Plan by rezoning 13.25 acres to C-N and L-O. As part of
the rezone, the applicant has also requested the existing C-G portion of the development along with
additional office parcels be rezoned to C-N to allow for a more diverse nux of retail and commercial
uses in the area. Staff believes this to be a good compromise between the two zoning districts and is
supportive of the applicant's request. In addition the C-N zoning district requires more stringent
setbacks and requires the same amount of buffering from the residential districts as the L-O zone.
Please see Exhibit D for a detailed analysis of the required facts and findings for a rezone.
The rezone legal descriptions submitted with the application (stamped on October 22, 2007,
November 29, 2007 and November 21, 2007 by Peter W. Lounsbury, PLS) is accurate and meets the
requirements of the City of Meridian and Idaho State Tax Commission.
UDC 11-SB-3D2 provides the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council 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. As part of annexation into the City for the
Bridgetower Crossing development, the developer was required to enter into a development
agreement recorded under instrument # 101117652.
The commercial portion of the Bridgetower Crossing Development was conceptually approved and
Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 8
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008
required a CUP to develop the commercial lots. With this application, the applicant has come forward
with a concept plan to develop the commercial portion of the development and is requesting to
modify the existing DA. Provisions of the amended DA will be outlined in a separate application for
City Council approval. Staff has included a copy of that staff report for the Commission's review.
Staff believes that the proposed modifications will clean up the Bridgetower Crossing DA to reflect
the proposed plat layout.
Concept~Plan: The applicant has submitted three concept plans for how the site may develop. Each
concept plan shows three different scenarios depicting a variety of commercial and office uses such as
office supply store, a nursery, multi tenant retail and personal /professional services on the site. It is
important to note that version two and three are similar in pad layout; however the proposed parking
for the front three pads are located adjacent to Ten Mile Road and in version three the proposed
buildings are fronting along Ten Mile with the parking in the rear of the buildings. Because of the
proposed zoning and square footages of the proposed buildings, these buildings should require design
review which requires no more than 70 percent of the required parking be located between the front
facade and the abutting street.
The submitted plat shows 8 buildable lots. The submitted concept plans shows a range from two
building pads to seven building pads and square footages ranging from 2,500 square feet to 33,725
square feet. Because the applicant does not have a clear vision for how this site is to develop, Staff is
limiting the development to not exceed 80,260 total square feet of non-residential uses on the site
(this is 25% of the gross area of the land). This is well below the allowed non-residential square
footage located in a mixed use neighborhood land use designation. Further, staff is recommending
that no one building exceed 33,725 square feet and a minimum of 4 buildings be constructed on the
site. Staff is generally supportive of the concept plans, but believes version three is a better concept
plan based on the configuration of the proposed buildings on the site and the its location to the
surrounding residential neighborhoods. Staff is recommending the applicant combine Concept
Plan one and three allowing a larger retail box north of Capri Street and transition to smaller
neighborhood retail south of Capri Street. If these changes are made, Staff is supportive of the
Concept for this development. The applicant should revise the concept plan prior to the City
Council hearing.
Elevations: The applicant has provided staff with sample photos illustrating what the types of
buildings are to be constructed on the site. Staff has selected six photos that portray the quality and
design expected for the proposed development. These buildings are constructed with stucco finishes
with varying roof heights, color changes and stone accented pillars and facades. The submitted photos
show substantial building modulation and an abundance of glazing on the front facades. Staff believes
that this ,is a good pallet for the developer to work' from and has included these design features in
Exhibit B of the Staff Report. Future buildings shal'1 substantially comply with the construction
materials. and design elements shown in these elevations.
Design Review: The submitted concept plans indicate buildings that range in size from 2,500 to
33,725 square feet. As mentioned earlier any building in a C-N and L-O zone that exceeds the
maximum square footages (7,500 sq. ft. for C-N and 10,000 sq. ft. for L-O) without design standard
approval shall be subject to UDC11-3A-19C which lists the design standards. All commercial
buildings on this site should be subject to full compliance with future Design Review (UDC 11-
3A-19). It is important to note that the proposed elevations and architectural features that are
incorporated with the future DA far exceed the design review standards of the code.
PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS: Based on the policies and goals contained in the
Comprehensive Plan and the general compliance of the proposal with the Unified Development Code,
Staff believes that this is a good location for the proposed commercial subdivision. Please see Exhibit
D for detailed analysis of facts and findings for a preliminary plat.
Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 9
CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008
Dimensional Requirements of the C-N and L-O zones per UDC Table 11-2B-3:
There are no minirnurn lot size or street frontage requirements for lots in the C-N and L-
Ozones; however the C-N and L-O zoning district require a minimum setback of 20'
front setbacks, a 25' and 20 `rear setback and 10' side setback for the L-O and no side
setback for the C-N zone. The maximum building heights allowed in the C-N and L-0
zones are 35 feet. The maximum building size allowed without design standard approval
is 7,500 square feet for the C-N zone and 10,000 square feet for the L-O zone. Future
buildings proposed on the subject lots shall meet the minimum dimensional standards
listed in UDC 11-28-3 and #6h above.
Landscaping: The entire perimeter landscaping along N. Ten Mile Road has been
installed with the approval of Bridgetower Crossing No. 2 and No. 7. The applicant has
also installed the required landscape buffers where the commercial uses adjoin the
residential uses. As part of this application approval, the applicant will be responsible for
installing and maintaining the 10-foot landscape buffers along W. Quintale Drive, Capri
Street and Alba Avenue. The submitted landscape plan complies with city code.
Proposed Streets and/or Access: Access to this development will be provided from a
total of five full-access driveways, two full-access public streets to N. Ten Mile Road and
one backage road providing access to/from the two other public streets and two proposed
driveway connections. Additional driveways will take access to/from Capri Street and
one to/from W. Quintale Drive. As mentioned earlier, all of these driveways are expected
to align with future public roadways and driveways. Staff is supportive of the proposed
driveways because of the future connectivity with current and future develops.
All commercial lots within the subdivision should have access to the access points
approved in this application. The agreement should also allow for cross-access/parking
between the C-N lots within this subdivision. This agreement shall be recorded and a
copy of said agreement submitted to the City prior to the City Engineer's signature on the
final plat (see Exhibit B of the staff report).
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 utilize
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 utilized, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
assessments. for the common areas prior to signature on the fmal plat by the City
Engineer. An underground, pressurized irrigation 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.
Drainage: A seepage bed for stormwater drainage is shown on Lot 1, Block 50 and Lot
1, Block 49. No trees shall be planted over the seepage beds. All storm drainage facilities
shall comply with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-11, Stormwater Integration.
Fencing: The Applicant is not showing any fencing on any of the submitted plans.
Permanent fencing is not required for commercial subdivisions. However, if permanent
fencing is not provided, temporary construction fencing to contain debris must be
installed around the perimeter prior to issuance of a building permit for this site.
b. Staff,Recommendation: Based on the above analysis, staff finds that applications RZ-07-022 and
PP-07-026 substantially conform to the Comprehensive Plan policies and UDC standards. Staff
recommends that the RZ and PP applications be approved with the conditions stated in
Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 10

D. Required Findings from Unified Development Code
1. 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:
1. The plat is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
The Commission finds that the proposed plat is in substantial compliance with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan. Staff 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.
2. Public services are available or can be made available and are adequate to
accommodate the proposed development;
The Commission 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.)
3. 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 Commission finds that the subdivision will not require the expenditure of
capital improvement funds.
4. 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, ACHD, etc.) to determine this finding. (See Exhibit

5. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general
welfare; and
The Commission 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. ACHD considers road safety issues in their analysis. Staff
recommends that the Commission and Council reference any public testimony that may
be presented to deternne whether or not the proposed subdivision may cause health,
safety or environmental problems of which staff is unaware.
6. The development preserves significant natural, scenic or historic features.
The Commission is unaware of any natural, scenic, or historic features on this site.
Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed development will not result in the
destruction, loss or damage of any natural, scenic or historic feature(s) of major
importance. 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.

Nand L-O zoning districts.
c. The map amendment shall not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
and welfare;
