MEMORANDUM:
May 15, 2003
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Sonya Allen, Planner I
Re: Request for Approval of a Miscellaneous Application to Allow a Temporary Sales
Office/Model Home in Inglenook Subdivision (Lot 2, Block 1) by Inglenook
Development (File No. MI-03-008).
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:
APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The Applicant, Inglenook Development, proposes to convert an existing, attached, three car garage to a
temporary sales office/model home use in Inglenook Subdivision. The office will have one to two staff
members on site seven days a week, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No specific time period was proposed in
the application. The lot (Lot 2, Block 1) is zoned R-4 and is located on the east side of S. Locust Grove
Rd., approximately ¾ mile south of E. Overland Rd.
Title 11, Chapter 8 of the Meridian City Code (Schedule of Use Control) prohibits Professional and
Sales Office uses in the R-4 district. Unless a Planned Development specifically proposes a sales
office as part of the application, the MCC does not permit these uses outright. The City has allowed
sales office uses that are restricted to the sale of residential lots and/or dwelling units within the
subdivision for which the sales are intended. For example, Ashford Greens, Heritage Commons,
Baldwin Park, Sundance, and Touchmark are recent developments that have been allowed a temporary
sales office that is associated with residential lot sales within those developments.
A sales office/model home was not applied for as part of the original submission. Therefore, staff
required an MI application be submitted for the otherwise prohibited use.
OWNER OF RECORD
The subject lot is owned by Inglenook Development, 701 S. Allen Street, Ste. 104, Meridian, Idaho.
SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
If City Council approves of the temporary sales office use, Staff recommends the following conditions
be placed upon the application:

Inglenook Subdivision Temporary Sales Office/Model Home
a. The subdivision is permitted to have no more than one temporary use.
b. The front yard shall be landscaped and irrigated prior to occupancy.
c. The applicant shall be responsible for providing adequate off street parking for the
employees.
d. One wall sign is allowed for the temporary sales office. The sign shall be limited in size to
18% of the wall area. No other signs shall be permitted. A separate sign permit is required if
signage is proposed.
e. Sanitary sewer service and domestic water service shall be hooked-up for the proposed use.
An assessment for sewer and water service will be determined during the building permit
application process.
f. The timeframe for the sales and information use is for a period of 24 months. If the
Applicant requires an extension of this permitted period, Staff recommends they submit a status
of their plans to the P&Z Department after 24 months of operation (starting from date of
occupancy). City Council must approve of any time extension beyond 30 months.
