below.
8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS
The 2002 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the subject property as
"Commercial." 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. Uses may include
retail, wholesale, service and office uses, multi-family residential, as well as appropriate public uses
such as government offices. Staff finds that the request generally conforms to this stated purpose and
intent of the commercial designation within the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to
the proposed development (staff analysis below policy in italics):
•"Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, Goal
N, Objective D, Action itern 2)
The subject property shares an access point to Ustick Road, an arterial street, with the
adjacent lot to the west (Lot S). No access points are proposed to the site from Ten Mile
Road.
Maverik CUP-08-009 Page 5
CITY OF MEWDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 1, 2008
•"Require appropriate landscape and buffers along transportation corridors (setback,
vegetation, low walls, berms, etc.)." (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective D, Action item 4)
A 25 foot wide landscape street buffer was required along Ten Mile Road and Ustick Road,
both arterial streets, with approval of the plat. Said buffer should be landscaped in
accordance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C and installed with the improvements
for the subdivision.
•"Pernut 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, Objective A, Action item 6)
This property is currently in the City and is able to be provided with City services.
• "Plan for a variety of commercial and retail opportunities within the Impact Area."
(Chapter VII, Goal 1, Objective B)
The proposed convenience store and fuel sales facility is the only such business in the
general vicinity. It is expected that a variety of commercial/office uses will develop on the
adjacent lots in McNelis Subdivision.
•"Require all commercial businesses to install and maintain landscaping." (Chapter V, Goal
III, Objective D, Action item 5)
Street buffer and parking lot landscaping is proposed with this application and should be
installed and maintained in accordance with the applicable standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7
and 11-38-8.
Staff believes that the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible
with the existing and future surrounding uses. 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 request is appropriate for this property.
9. ZONING ORDINANCE
a. Allowed Uses in Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists the pernutted, accessory, and
conditional uses in the C-G zoning district. Retail uses and fuel sales facilities are permitted uses
the C-G zoning district. However, the existing Development Agreement for McNelis Subdivision
specifically requires CUP approval for the proposed uses. Additionally, there are specific use
standards listed in UDC 11-4-3-20 for fuel sales facilities that the applicant must comply with.
b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the C-G district is to provide for commercial uses
which are customarily operated or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review of the
impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located in close
proximity to major highway or arterial streets; to fizlfill the need of travel-related services, as well
as retail sales for the transient and permanent motoring public.
10. ANALYSIS
a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: Staff is generally supportive of the CUP
request as proposed, with the following comments:
CUP: The applicant submitted a site plan, prepared by Dixon + Associates, dated 1/25/08,
labeled as Sheet C-0.1. The site plan depicts a 4,200 square foot convenience store with 5 fueling
Maverik CUP-08-009 Page 6
CITY OF MEWDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 1, 2008
islands. Per UDC 11-2B-2, retail uses and fuel sales facilities are pernutted uses in the C-G
district; however, the existing Development Agreement for McNelis Subdivision specifically
requires CUP approval for convenience stores and gas stations in the C-G district on the corner of
Ten Mile and Ustick Roads.
Dimensional Standards: There are no setback requirements in the C-G zoning district. However,
where landscape buffers are required, buildings must be setback at least the width of the required
buffer.
The maximum building height in the C-G district is 65 feet; the highest peak of the proposed
structure is approximately 29 feet, which complies with this requirement. Additionally, per UDC
11-4-3-20, the maximum height for overhead canopies or weather protection devices is 20 feet;
the proposed canopy is 19'3" measured from the concrete slab to the top of the canopy, which
complies with this requirement.
Fuel Sales Facility: Per UDC 11-4-3-20, there are Specific Use Standards that apply to the
proposed fuel sales facility use of the property as follows:
- When allowed as an accessory use, gasoline or diesel fuel sales facilities shall not occupy
more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the subject property. Not applicable
- The total height of any overhead canopy or weather protection device shall not exceed
twenty feet (20'). The proposed canopy is approximately 19'3'; which complies with this
requirement.
- Vehicle stacking lanes shall be available on the property but outside the fueling areas.
Stacking lanes shall have sufficient capacity to prevent obstruction of the public right-of-
way by patrons. Such stacking lanes shall be separate from areas required for access and
parking. The stacking lanes shall not be located within ten feet (10') of any abutting
residential districts. The submitted site plan shows adequate stacking area on the site
outside of the fueling areas.
- If the use is unatte~ded, the standards in accord with Section 11-3A-11 of this Title shall
also apply. Not applicable.
Building Elevations: Building elevations for the proposed convenience store were submitted
with this application and are included as Exhibit A.4. Exterior materials are proposed to be EFIS
(Exterior Insulation and Finish System - i.e. synthetic stucco) with stone veneer accents. The roof
and awning are proposed to be metal. Staff has no objections to the elevations proposed by the
applicant as they comply with the maximum building height and size requirements of the C-G
district. The proposed building shall be constructed in accordance with the elevations shown in
Exhibit A.4. Additionally, the applicant has submitted a section/elevation of the proposed fuel
canopy, included as Exhibit A.S. The proposed fuel canopy height of 19'3" complies with the
maximum height limit allowed of 20 feet listed in UDC 11-4-3-20 for overhead canopies and
weather protection devices.
Access: Access to this site is proposed from W. Ustick Road across Lot 5, Block 1, of McNelis
Subdivision via an ingress-egress/cross-access easement recorded on the final plat. An ingress-
egress/cross-access easement is also depicted on the final plat for the benefit of the subject lot
across Lots 2& 3 to the north for access to Ten Mile Road. No additional access points are
proposed with this application and none are approved. Staff is supportive of the proposed off-site
access points to the site.
Parking: Per UDC 11-3C-6B, in commercial districts, one off-street parking space is required
per 500 square feet of gross floor area. Based on the total square footage of structures on the site
(4,200 s.£), 8 parking stalls are required; 20 spaces are currently provided including 1 handicap

outdoor seating is not proposed at this location per the desire of the adjacent residential
neighbors. (See Police Department comments in Exhibit B.4).
Fencing: Chainlink fencing is proposed along the east and south sides of the building to screen
outdoor service and equipment areas. Per UDC 11-3A-12, outdoor service and equipment areas
shall be incorporated into the overall design of buildings and landscaping so that the visual and
acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and out of view from adjacent properties
and public streets. Per UDC 11-3B-SM, chainlink fencing with or without slats does not
qualify as a screening material. Staff recommends these areas be screened by landscaping
andlor a wall or fence that meets the aforemenNoned requirements. The applicant should
present, at the public hearing, an alternative plan for screening the outdoor storage area.
Aours of Operation: The proposed hours of operation for the convenience store and fuel facility
are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Staff has had some phone conversations with some
concerned neighbors about hours or operation. This was also a neighborhood concern
during the public hearing for the McNelis development. The Commission should rely upon
any public testimony provided to determine if the proposed hours of operation will be compatible
with neighboring residential uses.
Certificate of Zoning Compliance (CZC): A CZC application is required to be submitted, prior
to issuance of building perxnits, for the proposed convenience store and fuel facility. The
site/landscape plan submitted with the CZC shall be revised to comply with the conditions of
approval listed in Exhibit B of this report and shall be submitted prior to establishxnent of the new
use. All improvements must be installed prior to occupancy.
b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of CUP-08-009 for a convenience store
and fuel sales facility, as presented in the Staff Report for the hearing date of May 1, 2008,
based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit C and subject to the conditions of
approval listed in Exhibit B. The Meridian PlanninS & Zoning Commission heard this item
on Mav 1, 2008. At the public hearing they moved to approve the subiect CUP request.
