Carlton Ave. in the O-T zone, by Craig Rittenhouse (Fr1e No.CUP-03-016). We have reviewed this submittal and offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions shall be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICA N S & KGRO The applicam, Craig Rittenhouse, has requested approval of a conditional use permit for the expansion of an existing conditional use permit for a craft store and espresso shop. The original Conditional Use Permit was issued in 1996 to the former property owner and the applicant intends to continue the use ofthe property as a coffee shop and craft store, in addition to expanding the existing building. The applicant is required to apply for a new Conditional Use Permit because the applicant is proposing to expand the existing building and accompanying Conditional Use Permit (MCC 11-4- 9B). LOCATION & SURROUNDING USES The subject property is located at 141 E. Carlton, across the street from the old Meridian High School. The following uses surround the subject property: North - E. Carlton Avenue is located directly north of the subject property. The old Meridian High School is located north of E. Carleton Ave. South -An alley is located immediately south of the subject property. An antique store is located south of the alley. East -Second Street is located directly east of the subject property. West -The Chapel of the Chimes is located west of the subject property. Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 1, 2003 Page 2 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 may approve a conditional use permit and planned development if they shall find evidence presented at the hearing(s) is adequate to establish (11-17-3): A. That the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed use and all yards, open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features as may be required by this Ordinance; Staff finds that the site is not large enough to accommodate the required landscaping, yazds and other features required by the Zoning Ordinance, but the applicant has proposed a parking agreement which will allow customers of the Library to use the Chapel of the Chimes Parking lot. The MCC (12-13-5) requires 1 parking space for each 200 square feet of retail floor area. The proposed building (including the addition) will be 2,739 sq. ft. in size. Based on the square footage of the building 14 spaces are required. The applicant's site plan includes only 4 on site parking spaces. The applicant is proposing a parking agreement which would allow customers of the coffeehouse to use the parking lot at the Chapel of the Chimes. The handicap parking space provided on the site plan is van accessible per ADA requirements. The proposed landscaping plan does not meet the standards of the MCC. However, staff finds that the proposed project meets the conditions required to request Alternative Compliance found in Section 12-13-18-2 of the MCC. The existing structure on the property and the locations of the existing sidewalks make it prohibitively difficult for the applicant to meet the required landscape buffers for the subject property. In order to meet the required landscape buffer minimums the applicant would have to relocate the existing building and sidewalks. Given the constraints of the property staff finds that the applicant is eligible to request Alternative Compliance for landscaping. B. That the proposed use and development plan will be harmonious with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan and in accordance with the requirements of this Ordinance; The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map) designates the property as "Old Town". Stafffinds the proposed use is harmonious with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff finds fiuther that the proposed use is in compliance with the Meridian City Code. C.

Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 1, 2003 Page 3 Stafffinds that the proposed use will be compatible with the other commercial uses found in the general vicinity of the subject property The Council and Commission should consider public testimony when determining if the proposed use will change the essential character of the area. D. That the proposed use, if it complies with all conditions of the approval imposed, will not adversely affect other property in the vicinity; Staff does not anticipate that the proposed uses will have an adverse affect on the other property in the vicinity due to the existing traffic conditions in the subject area and the potential for the proposed application to add to existing traffic problems The Council and Commission should rely upon public testimony to determine if the development will adversely affect the other properties in the vicinity. E. That the proposed use 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 services; Staff finds that the proposed development will be adequately served by the essential public facilities and services listed above.
