FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW AND DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PAGE 2 OF 27
provisions of the Meridian City Code 9 11-17-4, a public hearing was required before the City
Council on this application.
4. The property is located at 2740 E. Ustick Road, generally located on the north side
of Us tick Road, Y, mile west of Eagle Road, Meridian, Idaho.
5. The owner of record ofthe subject property is Tom and Sue Davis, 2740 E. Ustick
Road, Meridian, Idaho.
6. Applicant is Hillview Development Corporation, 150 E. Aikens, Suite A, Eagle,
Idaho.
7. The subject property is currently zoned RUT by Ada County. There is, however,
an application for annexation and zoning to R-8 (Medium Density Residential) before the City
Council. The zoning district ofR-8 is defined within the City of Meridian Zoning and
Development Ordinance, Section 11-7-2.
8. The proposed application requests a conditional use permit for a Planned
Development in an R-8 zone. The R-8 zoning designation is within the City of Meridian Zoning
and Development Ordinance requires a conditional use permit be obtained for most uses
including those requested by the Applicant. (Meridian City Zoning and Development Ordinance,
Section 11-8-1).
9. The proposed application is in compliance with the Meridian Comprehensive
Plan, which designates the subject property as Medium Density Residential.
10. The use proposed within the subject application will in fact, constitute a
conditional use as determined by City Ordinance.

PAGE 3 OF 27
their letter dated February 2,2003; John and Shirley Schey, expressed in their letter dated February
11, 2003; Lynda and Marty Lindgren, expressed in their letter dated February 13, 2003; Vern
Alleman, expressed in his letter dated February 17, 2003; Wendel Bigham, Joint School District,
expressed in his letter dated January 10, 2003, and Tom E. Davis and Sue C. Davis, expressed in
their letter dated March 27, 2003. Additionally, the Council recognizes the comments/points of
interest of Wendell Bigham, Joint School District No.2, pertained in a memorandum dated March
31, 2003 from Brad Hawkins-Clark, and pertained in a facsimile to Brad Hawkins-Clark from
Wendell Bigham on March 31, 2003, as follows:
1. The school district has had regular contact with Mr. Davis and Hillview
Development regarding the potential development of this property. There will be
adequate capacity at the new Locust Grove elementary school currently under
construction to serve the Parkstone Subdivision. The school's student capacity is
650.
2. The district estimates that, by the time Parkstone Subdivision is built out, the Havasu
Creek elementary school will be constructed. This school is within one mile ofthe
Locust Grove school and will be equipped to handle any overflow that might occur at
the Locust Grove site.
3. The school district boundaries will continue to shift as development builds-out. If the
densities occur as per the Comprehensive Plan, there will continue to be one
elementary school serving each square mile, which the district believes will b e
adequate.
4. Discovery Elementary School located within the Educational Campus Subdivision
on Locust Grove Road will accommodate those students generated from the fmal
build out of the Parkstone Subdivision. Over time the current boundary for
Discovery Elementary will reduce in size due to increased growth in the north
Meridian area and that growth will drive the construction of additional elementary
schools in the nearby sections. We were aware of the proposed Parkstone
Subdivision at the time the boundaries were set and continue our support for
approval of the Parkstone Subdivision upon the Davis property.
12. The Meridian City Council takes judicial notice of its Zoning, Subdivision and
