The subject property is located in an L-O Zone and owned by St. Lukes Regional Medical Center (File No. CUP-03-0IS). We ilarve reviewed this submittal arttl offer the following comments, as conditions of the applicant. These conditions slladl be considered in full, unless expressly modified or deleted by motion of the Meridian City Council: APPLICATION SUMMARY The applicant, St. Luke's Regional Medical Center, has requested approval of a conditional use permit for a heliport with an accompanying pilot office/quarters and fueling station in the southeast comer of the hospital's property located on the east side of S. Eagle Road and the north side of I-84. St. Luke's has recently leased a helicopter for the transportation of patients to and from its hospitals and other medical facilities. The helicopter is currently stationed at the downtown (Boise) St Luke's Hospital on a landing pad that is not equipped with a refueling station and other associated improvements. Every time another helicopter is dispatched to the downtown St Luke's Hospital, the helicopter must be moved to accommodate the arrival of the additional helicopter. This, in addition to flying elsewhere for refueling, has become very expensive for St. Luke's, and they are looking to this site as the permanent home for their helicopter. The proposed helipad/office site will be manned 24-hours a day. The approach and take off zones are not over any residential subdivision, as required by the Federal Aviation and Administration (FAA). The applicarn has discussed the use of the helicopter with the residents of Montvue Subdivision and the developers of Meadow Lake Village and has made commitments to not approach or take off over either subdivision. The applicant is proposing a manufactured building placed on a permanent foundation as the pilots office/quarters. The manufactured building will include a brick wainscoting to match the existing St Planning & Zoning Commission/Mayor & City Council May 1, 2003 (Hearing Date) Page 2 SURROUNDING USES The following uses surround the subject property: North -Vacant land owned By St Luke's, zoned L-O. South - I-84, zoned I-L. East -Meadow Lakes Village's (Touchmark) maintenance facility zoned L-O. West - St. Luke's property, zoned L-O OWNER OF RECORD The owner of record is St. Luke's Regional Medical Center, and they have given their consent for the applicant to submit their conditional use permit request. 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 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 subject property is large enough to accommodate the required open spaces, parking, landscaping and other features required by the ordinance. The landscaping plan will need to be modified to include the required number of trees adjacent to I-84. The submitted landscape plan depicts only three (3) trees where at least ten (10) trees are required (pursuant to MCC12-13-10-6). Several required landscaping trees have been omitted from the submitted landscape plan in the approach and takeoff corridors for safety reasons and staff does not object to their elimination. 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 current Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Public/Quasi Public" and is currently zoned "L-O". The St Luke's project was approved under the former Comprehensive Plan when it was dedicated as a "Medical Facility". Staff finds that the proposed retail development, subject to conditions of approval, is harmonious with the MCC and the Comprehensive Plan.
