East: Bridgetower Crossing No. 5 and 7; zoned R-4 3. South: Bridgetower Crossing No. 2; zoned R-4 4. West: Vacant, Volterra Subdivision; zoned C-G and L-O d. History of Previous Actions: In 2001, this portion of the property was annexed and zoned C-G and R-4 (AZ-01-003) and preliminarily platted (PP-01-005) with a mix of residential, commercial and office lots. A Development Agreement (Inst. No. 101117652) was recorded at the time of annexation that required the site develop as a Planned Development. The commercial portion of the development was conceptually approved and the office portion was granted as a use exception with the Bridegtower Crossing Planned Development (CUP-01- 006). The office and commercial lots were final platted with the recordation of Bridgetower Crossing No. 2 and No. 7 (FP-02-008 and FP-04-031). A combined preliminary/fmal plat was approved in 2004, which allowed one of the approved office lots re-subdivide into three office lots; however at that time the property was not rezoned to L-O. e.

Two of the driveways will take access to/from Alba Avenue, another two will take access to/from Capri Street and the last one will access to /from W. Quintale Drive. Across-access agreement should be recorded for ali of the commercial lots within the proposed subdivision to share the access points and drive aisles to W. Quintale Drive, Alba Avenue and Capri Street. Other than the access points approved with this application, direct lot access to N. Ten Mile Road should be prohibited. The Planning Department is supportive of the proposed access points to the subdivision, per the conditions listed in Exhibit B of the staff report. 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" Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 6 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008 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. - 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 IV, 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 Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 7 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008 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 IV, 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) 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 Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 8 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR TH£ HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008 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 mix 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 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 Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 9 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008 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 shall 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. Dimensional Requirements of the C-N and L-0 zones per UDC Table 11-2B-3: There are no minimum 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-O 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 11-2B-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 fi ll-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 Bridgetower Crossing Commercial RZ and PP PAGE 10 CITY OF M$RPDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 26, 2008 final plat (see Exhibit B of the staff report).
